The best estimate of the proportion of all women at this university who have a body temperature more than 2 standard deviations above the mean is 2.28%.

Since the sample is normally distributed and has a mean μ = 98.52 F and a standard deviation, σ = 0.727 F and we need to find the percentage of all womenat this university who have a body temperature more than 2 standards deviations above the mean.

<h3>The normal distribution</h3>

Since the sample is normally distributed, 50% of the sample is below the mean. We have 34% of the sample at 1 standard deviation away from the mean and 47¹/₂% at 2 standard deviations above the mean.

<h3>Percentage below 2 standard deviations away from mean</h3>

So, the percentage below 2 standard deviations from the mean is 50% + 47¹/₂% = 97¹/₂%.

<h3>Percentage above 2 standard deviations away from mean</h3>

So, the percentage above 2 standard deviations from the mean is 100% - 97¹/₂% = 2¹/₂% = 2.5 %

Since 2.28 % is the closest to 2.5 % from the options, the best estimate is 2.28 %.

So, the best estimate of the proportion of all women at this university who have a body temperature more than 2 standard deviations above the mean is 2.28%.

Simplify 2√2-√3<br> ---------------<br> √2+√3
serious [3.7K]

Step-by-step explanation:

=  \frac{2 \sqrt{2}   -  \sqrt{3} }{ \sqrt{2} +  \sqrt{3}  }

=  \frac{2 \sqrt{2} -  \sqrt{3}  }{ \sqrt{2} +  \sqrt{3}  }  \times  \frac{ \sqrt{2} -  \sqrt{3}  }{ \sqrt{2} -  \sqrt{3}  }

= \frac{ 2( \sqrt{2}  -  \sqrt{3} )( \sqrt{2}  -  \sqrt{3} )}{ { \sqrt{2} }^{2} -  { \sqrt{3} }^{2}  }

=  \frac{2(2 -  \sqrt{6}  -  \sqrt{6} - 3) }{2 - 3}

=  \frac{2( - 1 - 2 \sqrt{6} )}{ - 1}

=  \frac{ - 2(1 + 2 \sqrt{6} )}{ - 1}

= 2(1 + 2 \sqrt{6} )

= 2 + 4 \sqrt{6}
