- Previous studies have suggested that human body temperature is normally distributed with a mean of 98.6∘98.6∘ F and a standard deviation of 0.7∘0.7∘ F. You sample 75 random humans and find ¯x=97.1∘x¯=97.1∘ F. To estimate the typical human's body temperature,we should use: 2-PropZInt 2-SampZInt 2-SampTInt ZInterval TInterval 1-PropZIntarrow_forwardUse the central limit theorem to find the mean and standard error of the mean of the indicated sampling distribution. Then sketch a graph of the sampling distribution. The per capita consumption of red meat by people in a country in a recent year was normally distributed, with a mean of 100 pounds and a standard deviation of 38.5 pounds. Random samples of size 18 are drawn from this population and the mean of each sample is determined. μx=nothingarrow_forwardShow Consider the following hypothetical situation.
