3. Assume that military aircraft use ejection seats designed for men weighing between 145.4 lb and 203 lb. If​ women's weights are normally distributed with a mean of 178.5 lb and a standard deviation of 49.4 ​lb, what percentage of women have weights that are within those​ limits? Are many women excluded with those​ specifications?

a. A hospital uses 100.6°F as the lowest temperature considered to be a fever. What percentage of normal and healthy persons would be considered to have a​ fever? Does this percentage suggest that a cutoff of 100.6°F is​ appropriate?
b. Physicians want to select a minimum temperature for requiring further medical tests. What should that temperature​ be, if we want only​ 5.0% of healthy people to exceed​ it? (Such a result is a false​ positive, meaning that the test result is​positive, but the subject is not really​ sick.)
