O p-60 and a=5
Temperature in degrees Fahrenheit has been collected from a sample of 50 individuals. The mean is 98.5 and standard deviation is 3.2. If we convert each observation into degrees in the centigrade scale ((X°C × 9/5) + 32 = Y°F) then what would be the new mean and standard deviation of the set of temperatures?
6 Joan records the temperature every day. The highest temperature she recorded was
29 °C to the nearest degree. Let X represent the error in the measured temperature.
a Suggest a suitable model for the distribution of X.
b Using your model, calculate the probability that the error will be less than 0.2°C.
e Find the variance of the error in the measured temperature.
