Question 1182727: A data set includes 108 body temperatures of healthy adult humans having a mean of 98.3°F and a standard deviation of 0.69°F. Construct a 99% confidence interval estimate of the mean body temperature of all healthy humans. What does the sample suggest about the use of 98.6°F as the mean body temperature?
What does this suggest about the use of 98.6F as the mean body temperature?
A. This suggests that the mean body temperature could very possibly be 98.6°F.
B. This suggests that the mean body temperature is significantly higher than 98.6°F.
C. This suggests that the mean body temperature is significantly lower than 98.6°F. Answer by robertb(5830) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The confidence interval is .
From the data given,
= [98.13, 98.47].
98.6 degrees F is outside this interval on the right side, and so the answer is
C. This suggests that the mean body temperature is significantly lower than 98.6°F.
