A patient in a hospital estimates her pulse rate by taking her pulse for 15 seconds and multiplying it by four She measures he pulse to be 68 beats per minute Later a nurse uses a vital signs monitor to measure the patient s pulse rate at 76 beats per minute a Compute the absolute error Simplify your answer completely AE Interpret the result The patient s pulse estimate had this much percent error from her measured pulse The patient s pulse estimate was off by this many beats per minute from the measured pulse The patient s pulse estimate was off by this much relative to her measured pulse The patient s pulse was increasing by this amount each minute The patient should have multiplied by this value rather than four to get her estimate b Compute the relative error Round to three decimal places Simplify your answer completely RE Interpret the result The patient s pulse estimate had this much percent error from her measured pulse The patient s pulse estimate was off by this many beats per minute from the measured pulse The patient s pulse estimate was off by this much relative to her measured pulse The patient s pulse was increasing by this amount each minute The patient should have multiplied by this value rather than four to get her estimate
