Human Body Temperature: What\'s Normal? Men\'s Temperatures (in degrees Fahrenheit) In an article in the Journal of Statistics Education (vol. 4, no. 2), Allen Shoemaker describes a study that was reported in the Journal of the American Medical 96 3 Association (JAMA).- It is generally accepted that6 79 the mean body temperature of an adult human is 986\"F\" In his article. Shoemaker uses the data from the JAMA article to test this hypothesis. Here is a summary of his test. s 97 0111234444 97 556667888899 98 000000112222334444 98 55666666778889 99 0001234 99 5 100 Claim: The body temperature of adults is 98.6°F Ho = 98.6°F (Claim) Hi 986\"F Sample Size:n 130 Population: Adult human temperatures (Fahrenheit) Distribution: Approximately normal 100 Key: 9613 = 963 Test Statistics:98.25, 0.73 * Data for the JAMA article were collected from Women\'s Temperatures (in degrees Fahrenheit) healthy men and women, ages 18 to 40, at the University of Maryland Center for Vaccine Development, Baltimore. 96 4 96 78 97 224 97 677888999 98 00000122222233344444 98 5666677777788888889 99 00112234 100 0 100 8 Key: 9614 -964

Solution

Test of mu = 98.6 vs not = 98.6

N Mean StDev SE Mean 99% CI T P
130 98.2500 0.7300 0.0640 (98.0826, 98.4174) -5.47 0.000

as p-value < 0.01 hence we are rejecting H0 and claim that the mean it not 98.6
