Part 1
The body temperatures of a group of healthy adults have a bell-shaped distribution with a mean of
98.2698.26degrees°F
and a standard deviation of
0.610.61degrees°F.
Using the empirical rule, find each approximate percentage below.
a.
What is the approximate percentage of healthy adults with body temperatures within
11
standard
deviationdeviation
of the mean, or between
97.6597.65degrees°F
and
98.8798.87degrees°F?
b.
What is the approximate percentage of healthy adults with body temperatures between
96.4396.43degrees°F
and
100.09100.09degrees°F?
