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?
 
 
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.
 
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.
