A data set includes 103 body temperatures of healthy adult humans having a mean of 98.9°F and a standard deviation of 0.65°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 ?? °F < ? < °F (Round to three decimal places as needed.)

A data set includes 108 body temperatures of healthy adult humans, with a mean of 98.3°F and a standard deviation of 0.69°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?
