This educational content focuses on the body temperatures of a group of healthy adults, which follow a bell-shaped distribution. The mean body temperature is 98.24°F and the standard deviation is 0.55°F. We use the empirical rule to estimate certain percentages:a. What percentage of healthy adults have body temperatures within 3 standard deviations of the mean (i.e., between 96.59°F and 99.89°F)?b. What percentage of healthy adults have body temperatures between 97.69°F and 98.79°F?The questions require understanding and applying the empirical rule, also known as the 68-95-99.7 rule, which suggests that for a normal distribution:- Approximately 68% of the data lies within 1 standard deviation of the mean.- Approximately 95% is within 2 standard deviations.- Approximately 99.7% is within 3 standard deviations.For this exercise, the answers should be typed as integers or decimals without rounding, indicating the exact percentage found using the empirical rule.

Using the empirical rule, find each approximate percentage below. a. What is the approximate percentage of healthy adults with body temperatures within 3 standard deviations of the mean, or between 96.59°F and 99.89°F? b. What is the approximate percentage of healthy adults with body temperatures between 97.69°F and 98.79°F? a. Approximately % of healthy adults in this group have body temperatures within 3 standard deviations of the mean, or between 96.59°F and 99.89°F. (Type an integer or a decimal. Do not round.) b. Approximately % of healthy adults in this group have body temperatures between 97.69°F and 98.79°F. (Type an integer or a decimal. Do not round.)
