Body Temperatures: Most people think that the "normal" adult body temperature is 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit. That figure, based on a 19th century study, has recently been challenged. A more recent figure is 98.1 degrees. The standard deviation appears to be around 0.6 degrees and the distribution is approximately Normal. A) Based on this model, below what body temperature are the coolest 15% of all people? degrees (Round your answer to 1 decimal place) B) Based on this model, above what body temperature are the hottest 25% of all people? degrees (Round your answer to 1 decimal place).

A physician would like to test the hypothesis that the mean body
temperature (in degrees Fahrenheit) of adults is not 98.6. For the
test, they will assume the temperatures follow a normal
distribution with a standard deviation of 0.9. The physician
selects a random sample of 10 adults and finds that they have a
mean body temperature of 98.2.
A) calculate the test statistic for testing the physician's
hypothesis.
B) Determine the p- value for the test.

1. Here are the daily average body temperatures (in degrees
Fahrenheit) for 20 healthy adults:
98.74, 98.83, 96.80, 98.12, 97.89, 98.09, 97.87, 97.42, 97.30,
97.84, 100.27, 97.90, 99.64, 97.88, 98.54, 98.33, 97.87, 97.48,
98.92, 98.33
Do these data give evidence that the mean body temperature for
all healthy adults is not equal to the traditional 98.6 degrees?
State the hypotheses, find a P-value, and write a summary of your
