Assume That Human Body Temperatures Are Normally Distributed With A Mean Of 98 18 F And A Standard Deviation Of 0 63 F 1 (110.02 KiB) Viewed 11 times

Assume that human body temperatures are normally distributed with a mean of 98.18°F and a standard deviation of 0.63°F. a. A hospital uses 100.6°F as the lowest temperature considered to be a fever. What percentage of normal and healthy persons would be considered to have a fever? Does this percentage suggest that a cutoff of 100.6°F is appropriate? b. Physicians want to select a minimum temperature for requiring further medical tests. What should that temperature be, if we want only 5.0% of healthy people to exceed it? (Such a result is a false positive, meaning that the test result is positive, but the subject is not really sick.) Click to view page 1 of the table. Click to view page 2 of the table. a. The percentage of normal and healthy persons considered to have a fever is (Round to two decimal places as needed.) Does this percentage suggest that a cutoff of 100.6°F is appropriate? %. O A. Yes, because there is a large probability that a normal and healthy person would be considered to have a fever. O B. No, because there is a small probability that a normal and healthy person would be considered to have a fever. O C. Yes, because there is a small probability that a normal and healthy person would be considered to have a fever. O D. No, because there is a large probability that a normal and healthy person would be considered to have a fever. b. The minimum temperature for requiring further medical tests should be (Round to two decimal places as needed.) °F if we want only 5.0% of healthy people to exceed it.
