Question
A data set includes 107 body temperatures of healthy adult humans for which x-98.7°F and s-072?F. Complete parts (a) and (b) below. Click here to view a t distribution table a. What is the best point estimate of the mean body temperature of all healthy humans? The best point estimate isF. Type an integer or a decimal.) b Using the sample statistics, construct a 99% confidence interval estimate of the mean body temperature o a healthy humans. Do the confidence interval mits contain 98.6 F? What does the sample suggest about the use of 98.6 F as the mean body temperature? What is the confidence interval estimate of the population mean ?? Round to three decimal places as needed.) Do the confidence interval limits contain 98.6 F? O No O Yes What does this suggest about the use of 98.6 F as the mean body temperature?Explanation / Answer
The statistical software output for this problem is:
One sample T summary confidence interval:
? : Mean of population
99% confidence interval results:
Hence,
a) Best point estimate = 98.7
b) 99% confidence interval:
98.517 < ? < 98.883
Yes
It suggests that this temperature is likely to occur.
