    The document provides data on the distribution of weights and pulse rates of a sample of middle aged women. It tests whether pulse rate is related to weight for this group at a 0.01 significance level, using a chi-square test. The chi-square value of 15.462 is less than the tabular value of 16.812, so the null hypothesis that pulse rate and weight are independent is accepted and the relationship is deemed insignificant.
