Let’s assume that human body temperatures are normally distributed with a mean of 98.20° F and a standard deviation of 0.62° F.

Bellevue Hospital in New York City uses 100.6°F as the lowest temperature considered to be a fever. What percentage of normal and healthy persons would be considered to have a fever? Please answer using a percentage and not a probability.

Answer: It is such a small percentage of the population that would be considered to have fever at that level.

So, it is not appropriate stringent standard.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Mean = 98.20°F

Standard deviation = 0.62°F

If  Bellevue Hospital in New York City uses 100.6°F as the lowest temperature considered to be a fever.

So, \bar{X}=100.6^\circ F

So, using the normal distribution, we first find the value of z.

z=\dfrac{\bar{x}-\mu}{\sigma}\\\\x=\dfrac{100.6-98.2}{0.62}\\\\z=3.87

Since z = 3.87

So, p = 0.0001 =0.1%

So,It is such a small percentage of the population that would be considered to have fever at that level.

So, it is not appropriate stringent standard.

��� How does the value of sine and cosine of complementary angles relate
vlabodo [156]
Cosine is co added onto sine. Basically, cosine is the sine function moved over 90degrees or pi/2 (pi/2 on a unit circle is 90 degrees)

Sin(x)=cos(x+90) <--degrees
Sin(x)=cos(x+pi/2) <--radians

The above two equations for converting them is called a cofunction identity. There's many more identities to convert sines, cosines, tangents, cosecantes, secantes, and cotangents between each other. This is taught to you in PreCalculus.

Which of the following prefixes would be best for measuring small objects like the width of a piece of paper?
Valentin [98]
Hecta is the prefix meaning 100 times;
Kilo means 1000 times;
Deca is one tenth;
and Centi is one hundredth.
In this case, the smallest and most suitable for measuring small objects would be Centi.
