Question 1: Emperical Rule
Human body temperature have a mean of 98.20 degrees a standard deviation of 0.62 degrees.
a. Approximately what percentage of people have temperatures between 97.58 and 98.82 degrees? (Hint: Use a number line and the Emperical Rule.)
Find the z-value of each temperature value:
(97.58-98.2)/0.62 = -1
(98.82-98.2)/0.62 = +1
According to Emperical Rule 68% of the people have temperatures in that range.
-------------------------
b. Approximately what percentage of people have temperatures between 96.34 and 98.2 degrees?
same procedure: find the z-values of the given termperatures;
z(96.34) = (96.34-98.2)/0.62 = -3
z(98.2)= (98.2-98.2)/0.62 =0
--------
According to the Empirical rul 99% of the population is within 3 standard
deviations. You have only the left half of that distribution. You answer
is 99/2 = 49.5%
