A high respiratory rate is a potential diagnostic indicator of respiratory infection in children. To judge whether a respiratory rate is truly “high”, however, a physician must have a clear picture of the distribution of normal respiratory rates. To this end, Italian researchers measured the respiratory rates of 618 children. Using the respiratory data set provided, analyze the data and provide a clear and complete statistical summary. Include a useful plot or chart that a physician could use to assess a normal range of respiratory rate for children of any age between 0 and 3.
