The Health of your Heart Introduction Keeping a healthy heart is vital for good health. This is because as cardiovascular fitness increases‚ so does the efficiency of the body. The heart becomes stronger and stronger every time you use it. Aerobic or cardiovascular fitness is measured by how efficient a person can pump oxygen to their working muscles to supply energy. It decreases the danger of getting life-threatening cardiovascular diseases. cardiovascular fitness is usually improved

Outlier is generally considered to be a data point that is far outside the norm for a variable or population ( Jarrell‚ 1994; Rasmussen‚ 1988; Stevens‚ 1984). 1) The scatter plot is Positive correlation because the values of y tend to increase with increasing values of x. the correlation become stronger as we proceed from a to c. in fact‚ c shows a perfect positive correlation‚ in which all the points fall along a straight line.

When outliers are present‚ the median and IQR are used to measure center and spread because they are unaffected by extreme values. When the data appears to be symmetric and there are no known outliers‚ the mean and standard deviation (another measure of spread) are used. In the past‚ you have used the mean absolute deviation. Deviation can be defined
