Solution Steps

Step 1: Calculate the Sum of Pulse Rates

To find the population mean pulse, we first calculate the sum of the pulse rates of the nine students:

\[ \sum_{i=1}^N x_i = 69 + 90 + 78 + 76 + 80 + 82 + 67 + 75 + 77 = 694 \]

Step 2: Determine the Number of Students

The total number of students, \( N \), is 9.

Step 3: Calculate the Population Mean Pulse

The population mean pulse \( \mu \) is calculated using the formula:

\[ \mu = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^N x_i}{N} = \frac{694}{9} \approx 77.1 \]

Final Answer

The population mean pulse is approximately \( \boxed{77.1} \) beats per minute.
