Question

Body Temperature. The body temperature of adults are normally distributed with a mean of 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit and a standard deviation of 0.81 degrees Fahrenheit. What temperature represents the 95th percentile? 95th percentile means that 95% of all values are BELOW this temperature and 5% of all values are ABOVE this temperature.

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
