Question
The body temperatures of a group of healthy adults have a bell-shaped distribution with a mean of 98.06°F and a standard
deviation of 0.67°F. Using the empirical rule, find each approximate percentage below.
a. What is the approximate percentage of healthy adults with body temperatures within 1 standard deviation of the mean,
or between 97.39°F and 98.73°F?
b. What is the approximate percentage of healthy adults with body temperatures between 96.72°F and 99.40°F?
% of healthy adults in this group have body temperatures within 1 standard deviation of the mean, or
a. Approximately
between 97.39°F and 98.73°F.
(Type an integer or a decimal. Do not round.)
b. Approximately
% of healthy adults in this group have body temperatures between 96.72°F and 99.40°F.
(Type an integer or a decimal. Do not round.)
