A student conducted an experiment to determine if listening to different types of music would affect pulse rate. She thought that pulse rate would increase with a faster beat. Each person participating in her experiment listened to seven different selections of music for 30 seconds each. The pulse rates were taken after each 30-second interval of music. Based on the data from her experiment, the student concluded that a person's pulse rate increased when listening to music with a faster beat.
