Question

1. Assuming these results reflect the properties of the general population, what is the probability one randomly selected person has a body temp greater than the accepted value of 98.6°F?

2. What is the probability 106 randomly selected people have an average body temperature is greater than the accepted value of 98.6°F?

3. Based on the Rare Event Rule and the probability given in #2, what can you conclude about the assumption that the true average body temperature is 98.6°F?

4. Find the 5th and 95th percentiles for average weights from a group of 106 people using the sample statistics given in the introduction.
