Question 1011416
 A data set includes 105 body temperatures of healthy adult humans for which (line over top of x)x=98.7 degrees F and s=0.64 degrees F.
Complete parts (a) and (b) below. SHOW WORK 
a) What is the best point estimate of the mean body temperature of all healthy humans? 
The best point estimate is x-bar = 98.7 degrees F(Type an interger or a decmial)
----- 
b)Using the sample statistics, construct a 99% confidence interval estimate of the mean body temperature of all healthy humans. 
sample mean = 98.7
Margin of Error = 2.5758*[0.64/sqrt(105)] = 0.1609
99% CI:: 98.7-0.1609 < u < 98.7+0.1609
98.54 < u < 98.86
---------------------------------------------

Do the confidence interval limits contains 98.6 degrees F? Yes
---------------------- 
What does the sample suggest about the use of 98.6 degrees F as the mean body temperature?
We can be 99% confident that the mean body temp is 98.6
----------------------
What is the confidence interval estimate of the population mean u?
-----   
_______ Do the confidence interval limits contain 98.6 degrees F? No or Yes 
What does this suggest about the use of 98.6 degrees F as the mean body Temperature? 
A) This suggests that the mean body temperature could very possibly be 98.6 degrees F.
B) This suggest that the mean body temperature could be lower then 98.6 degrees F
C)This suggest that the mean body temperature could be higher then 98.6 degrees F
