Human body temperatures have a mean of 98.20° F and a standard deviation of 0.62°. Sally's temperature can be described by z = 1.4. What is her temperature? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth. 99.07°F 100.45°F 97.33°F 99.60°F

Respuesta :

Answer:

99.068 degrees Fahrenheit

Step-by-step explanation:

1.4=(x-98.20)/0.62

.868=x-98.20

x=99.068 degrees Fahrenheit

Answer: First Option

[tex]X=99.07\°\ F[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to calculate the Z-score is:

[tex]Z=\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

Where

[tex]\mu[/tex] is the mean

[tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation

X is the temperature whose Z-score is 1.4

In this case we know that:

[tex]\mu=98.20\°\ F[/tex]

[tex]\sigma=0.62\°\ F[/tex]

Then:

[tex]Z=\frac{X-98.20}{0.62}[/tex]

[tex]1.4=\frac{X-98.20}{0.62}[/tex]

[tex]1.4*0.62=X-98.20[/tex]

[tex]X=1.4*0.62 + 98.20[/tex]

[tex]X=99.07\°\ F[/tex]
