Math Problem Statement
give me only the asnwer
Solution
The correct answer is:
A. More than 95% of healthy adults have a body temperature greater than 96.8°F.
This statement cannot be supported because, with a normal distribution centered around 98.2°F, only a smaller percentage would fall significantly below this mean.
