60 "R"'s in the ECG strip that isavailable at the momentc. There are 55 P
waves noted before every "R" wave obtained in the stripd. There are about
less than 60 "p" waves noted paired with every "R" wave observed in a
6-inchlength of ECG strip obtained.
Answer: a. P wave precedes every R wave and there are 5 R's in a six
second strip.
