Question

A data set includes 109 body temperatures of healthy adult humans having a mean of 98.3degrees°F and a standard deviation of 0.54degrees°F.Construct a 99​% confidence interval estimate of the mean body temperature of all healthy humans. What does the sample suggest about the use of98.6degrees°Fas the mean body​ temperature?

What is the confidence interval estimate of the population mean

muμ​?

____°F <μ<____°F

​(Round to three decimal places as​ needed.)

What does this suggest about the use of

98.6degrees°F

as the mean body​ temperature?

A.

This suggests that the mean body temperature could

be higher thanbe higher than

98.6degrees°F.

B.

This suggests that the mean body temperature could

be lower thanbe lower than

98.6degrees°F.

C.

This suggests that the mean body temperature could

very possibly bevery possibly be

98.6degrees°
