\nA 1992 article in the Journal of the American Medical Association (?A Critical Appraisal of<\/p>\n
98.6 Degrees F, the Upper Limit of the Normal Body Temperature, and Other Legacies of<\/p>\n
Carl Reinhold August Wunderlich?) reported body temperature, gender, and heart rate for a<\/p>\n
number of subjects. The body temperatures for 25 female subjects follow: (15 points)<\/p>\n
97.8, 97.2, 97.4, 97.6, 97.8, 97.9, 98.0, 98.0, 98.0, 98.1, 98.2, 98.3, 98.3, 98.4, 98.4, 98.4,<\/p>\n
98.5, 98.6, 98.6, 98.7, 98.8, 98.8, 98.9, 98.9, and 99.0.<\/p>\n
a) Test the hypothesis : = 98.6 versus : ? 98.6, using = 0.05. Find the P-value.<\/p>\n
b) Check the assumption that female body temperature is normally distributed.<\/p>\n
c) Explain how the question in part (a) could be answered by constructing a two-sided<\/p>\n
confidence interval on the mean female body temperature.<\/p>\n
