Question
Refer to the data set of body temperatures in degrees Fahrenheit given in the accompanying table
and use software or a calculator to find the mean and median. Do the results support or contradict
the common belief that the mean body temperature is 98.6°F?
Click the icon for the body temperature data.
The mean of the data set is
°F.
(Round to two decimal places as needed.)
The median of the data set is
°F.
(Type an integer or a decimal. Do not round.)
Do the results support or contradict the common belief that the mean body temperature is 98.6°F?
O A. The results contradict the belief that the mean body temperature is 98.6°F because both
the mean and the median are less than 98.6°F.
B. The results are inconclusive because the median body temperature is not equal to 98.6°F
while the mean is approximately equal to 98.6°F.
C. The results are inconclusive because the mean body temperature is not equal to 98.6°F
while the median is approximately equal to 98.6°F.
O D. The results support the belief that the mean body temperature is 98.6°F because both the
mean and the median are equal to 98.6°F.
