Math Problem Statement
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 level 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 ? Find the confidence interval estimate of the population mean
