Question
In an experiment of normal body temperatures in degrees Fahrenheit, 6 males ages 25-40 were given a random temperature check. The results were as follows:
97.1 99.0 98.2 98.9 98.1 99.4
a. Construct and interpret a 95% Confidence Interval for the average normal body temperature of males ages 25-40.
b. Construct and interpret a 95% Prediction Interval for the next temperature taken.
c. The average normal body temperature is generally accepted as 98.6 °F. Given the above data, should scientists reconsider this general statement? Use ? = 0.05.
