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?
1
Click the icon for the body temperature data.The mean of the data set is
nothing°F.
(Round to two decimal places as needed.)
The median of the data set is
nothing°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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
