A data set includes 110 body temperatures of healthy adult humans having a mean of 98.1°F and a standard deviation of 0.64°F. Construct a 99% confidence interval 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?

please see attached - thank you in advance 

A data set includes 110 body temperatures of healthy adult humans having a mean of 98.1°F and a standard deviation of 0.64°F. Construct a 99% confidence interval 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?

Click here to view page 1 of the standard normal distribution table.
Click here to view page 2 of the standard normal distribution table.
What is the confidence interval estimate of the population mean µ?
97.94 °F<µ< 98.26 °F
(Round to three decimal places as needed.)
What does this suggest about the use of 98.6°F as the mean body temperature?
O A. This suggests that the mean body temperature is significantly higher than 98.6°F.
O B. This suggests that the mean body temperature is significantly lower than 98.6°F.
O C. This suggests that the mean body temperature could very possibly be 98.6°F.
