16. Assume that human body temperatures are normally distributedwith a mean of 98.22°F and a standard deviation of 0.64°F.a. A hospital uses 100.6°F as the lowesttemperature considered to be a fever. What percentage of normal andhealthy persons would be considered to have a​ fever? Does thispercentage suggest that a cutoff of 100.6°F is​ appropriate?b. Physicians want to select a minimum temperaturefor requiring further medical tests. What should that temperature​be, if we want only​ 5.0% of healthy people to exceed​ it? (Such aresult is a false​ positive, meaning that the test result is​positive, but the subject is not really​ sick.)
A. The percentage of normal and healthy persons considered tohave a fever is ____%.
​(Round to two decimal places as​ needed.)
Does this percentage suggest that a cutoff of 100.6 degreesUpper F is​ appropriate?
A. No, because there is a large probability that a normal andhealthy person would be considered to have a fever.
B. No, because there is a small probability that a normal andhealthy person would be considered to have a fever.
C. Yes, because there is a small probability that a normal andhealthy person would be considered to have a fever.
D. ​Yes, because there is a large probability that a normal andhealthy person would be considered to have a fever.
b. The minimum temperature for requiring further medical testsshould be _____ F if we want only​ 5.0% of healthy people to exceedit.
​(Round to two decimal places as​ needed.)
