A timing device.
A short piece of aerobic music. Here are
three music pieces:
 (1m
20sec)  (1m

moderate level of exercise for 30 minutes per day
can produce a variety of health benefits. Do you have a
strong heart? (http://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/dnpa/physical/recommendations/index.htm) How does one minute of
exercise affect your pulse rate? Lets collect your data to
find out.
Objectives 1. To learn the
concepts of two independent sample comparisons. 2. To learn the concepts of pre/post dependent
sample comparisons.
3 To learn the descriptive techniques
(graphical and numerical) for comparing two independent
samples.
4. To learn the descriptive techniques
(graphical and numerical) for comparing two dependent
samples (pre vs. post). Key
Concepts Comparison
of two groups, individual sample, and paired sample
Related Topics
The data collected from this activity can also be used to
study the following inferential techniques:
1. Interval estimation for two independent group
comparisons.
2. Hypothesis testing for comparing two independent
groups. 3. Interval estimation for
pre/post comparisons. 4. Hypothesis testing
for pre/post comparisons.
