A body temperature of 99.5° F given that human body temperatures have a mean of 98.20° F and a standard deviation of 0.62°.

Question

Find the z-score corresponding to the given value and use the z-score to determine whether the value is unusual. Consider a score to be unusual if its z-score is less than -2.00 or greater than 2.00. Round the z-score to the nearest tenth if necessary.

Answer 1

z = (X - μ) / σ     (Learn that!)

z = (99.5 - 98.20) / 0.62

 

Can you calculate and answer?
