The population of adult women in the US have body temperatures 98.4 degrees Fahrenheit and a standard deviation of 0.79 degrees Fahrenheit.The body temperatures are normally distributed.The population of adult women in the US is extremely large (much larger than 1 million).Consider all samples of 8 US adult women. Find the probability that, for a random sample of 16 US adult women, the sample mean is between98.0 and 99.0 degrees Fahrenheit, that is, find P ( 98.0 < * < 99.0 ).Round your answer to 3 decimal places.

Question

The population of adult women in the US have body temperatures 98.4 degrees Fahrenheit and a standard deviation of 0.79 degrees Fahrenheit.
The body temperatures are normally distributed.
The population of adult women in the US is extremely large (much larger than 1 million).
Consider all samples of 8 US adult women.

Find the probability that, for a random sample of 16 US adult women, the sample mean is between
98.0 and 99.0 degrees Fahrenheit, that is, find P ( 98.0 < * < 99.0 ).
Round your answer to 3 decimal places.

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
