A data set includes 103 body temperatures of healthy adult humans, having a mean of 98.5°F and a standard deviation of 0.61°F. Construct a 99% confidence interval estimate of the mean body temperature of all healthy humans. 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 μ?

Step 1
We are given the sample mean ($\bar{x}$), sample standard deviation ($s$), and sample size ($n$). We have $\bar{x} = 98.5°F$, $s = 0.61°F$, and $n = 103$. Show more…

A data set includes 106 body temperatures of healthy adult humans, having a mean of 98.7°F and a standard deviation of 0.63°F. Construct a 99% confidence interval estimate of the mean body temperature of all healthy humans. 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 μ?
