Question

A data set includes 104 body temperatures of healthy adult humans for which x = 98.7 degree F and s = 0.66 degree F. Complete parts (a) and (b) below. a. What is the best point estimate of the mean body temperature of all healthy humans? The best point estimate is degree F (Type an integer or a decimal.) b. Using the sample statistics, construct a 99% confidence interval estimate of the mean body temperature of all healthy humans. Do the confidence interval limits contain 98.6 degree F? What does the sample suggest 98.6 degree F as the mean body temperature? What is the confidence interval estimate of the population mean mu? degree

Explanation / Answer

a) the best point estimate is 98.7 (Mean given)

b)

Margin of error, E = 0.1698474     ( E= 2.576*0.66/sqrt(104) )

99% Confident the population mean is within the range:
98.43015 < mean <98.76985

c)yes it contains
