Question

Biology Some studies show that the mean normal human body temperature is actually somewhat lower than the commonly given value of 98.6A °F. This is reflected in the following data set of body temperatures.

a. Find the mean and sample standard deviation of the body temperatures. Round each result to the nearest hundredth.

b. Are there any temperatures in the data set that do not lie within 2 standard deviations of the mean? If so, list them.
