A data set includes 103 body temperatures of healthy adult humans having a mean of 98.3degreesF and a standard deviation of 0.73

degreesF. Construct a 99​% confidence interval estimate of the mean body temperature of all healthy humans. What does the sample suggest about the use of 98.6degreesF as the mean body​ temperature?

Answer:

CI = (98.11 , 98.49)

The value of 98.6°F suggests that this is significantly higher

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

sample size, n = 103

Mean temperature, μ = 98.3

°

Standard deviation, σ = 0.73

Degrees of freedom, df = n - 1 = 102

Now,

For Confidence level of 99%, and df = 102, the t-value = 2.62      [from the standard t table]

Therefore,

CI = (Mean - \frac{t\times\sigma}{\sqrt{n}},Mean + \frac{t\times\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})

Thus,

Lower limit of CI =  (Mean - \frac{t\times\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})

or

Lower limit of CI =  (98.3 - \frac{2.62\times0.73}{\sqrt{103}})

or

Lower limit of CI = 98.11

and,

Upper limit of CI =  (Mean + \frac{t\times\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})

or

Upper limit of CI =  (98.3 + \frac{2.62\times0.73}{\sqrt{103}})

or

Upper limit of CI = 98.49

Hence,

CI = (98.11 , 98.49)

The value of 98.6°F suggests that this is significantly higher and  the mean temperature could very possibly be 98.6°F

Ebi, Jose, Derell, and Asami measured their heights. Ebi's height was 2.5 cm greater than Jose's height. Jose's height was 3.1 c
irga5000 [103]
Start with assigning each person with a variable to represent their height

Ebi: e
Jose: j
Derell: d
Asami: a

Ebi'd height was 2.5 cm greater than Jose's height

j + 2.5 = e

Jose's height was 3.1 cm greater than Derell's

d + 3.1 = j

Derell's height is 0.4 cm less than Asami's height

a - 0.4 = d

Ebi is 162.5 cm tall

e = 162.5

So, plug in 162.5 into any of the above equations were there is a variable of e

j + 2.5 = e

j + 2.5 = 162.5

Subtract 2.5 from both sides of the equation

j = 160 cm

Jose's height is 160 cm

Now, plug in 160 into any of the above equations where there is a j

d + 3.1 = j

d + 3.1 = 160

Subtract 3.1 from both sides of the equation 

d = 156.9 cm

Derell's height 156.9 cm

so, plug in 156.9 into any of the above equations where there is a d

a - 0.4 = d

a - 0.4 = 156.9

Add 0.4 on both sides of the equation

a = 157.3 cm

Asami's height is 157.3 cm
