Question 1111354: human body temperature have a mean of 98.20 degrees and a standard deviation of 0.62 degrees. approximately what percentage of people have temperature between 97.58 and 98.82 you must show the graph with the points mean of population - 3 standard deviation through mean of population + 3 standard deviation labeled along the horizontal scale.

This is asking for the number of people within + and - 1 standard deviation of the mean. That is 0.6827 probability or 68.27%
Approximately 2/3 or 68%
+/- 3 sd s is +/- 1.86 degrees (sd *3) on either side of mean.
This is a normal curve with mean +/-1.86 or
96.34 degrees at -3
96.96 degrees at -2
97.58 at -1
98.2 at 0 the mean and highest point of graph
98.82 at +1
99.44 at +2
100.06 at +3
