The average human body temperature is a symmetric/ bell-shaped distribution. Below is a dotplot of body temperatures taken from 130 individuals as well as the statistical summaries. What is the typical values (bulk) of the temperatures? Summary statistics: \begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|r|} \hline Column & \( \mathbf{n} \) & Mean & Std. dev. & Range \\ \hline Temperature & 130 & 98.249231 & 0.73318316 & 4.5 \\ \hline \end{tabular} between 97 and 99.5 between 98 and 99 between 97.5 and 99

According to a random sample taken at 12AM, body temperatures of healthy adults have a bell-shaped distribution with a mean of 98.28Ā°F and a standard deviation of 0.61Ā°F. Using Chebyshev's theorem, what do we know about the percentage of healthy adults with body temperatures that are within two standard deviations of the mean? What are the minimum and maximum possible body temperatures that are within two standard deviations of the mean? At least what percentage of healthy adults have body temperatures within two standard deviations of 98.28Ā°F? (Round to the nearest percent as needed) The minimum possible body temperature that is within two standard deviations of the mean is ________Ā°F. (Round to two decimal places as needed) The maximum possible body temperature that is within two standard deviations of the mean is ________Ā°F. (Round to two decimal places as needed)
