Assume that human body temperatures are normally distributed with a mean of

98.23 degrees Upper F

and a standard deviation of

0.64 degrees Upper F

a. A hospital uses

100.6 degrees Upper F

as the lowest temperature considered to be a fever. What percentage of normal and healthy persons would be considered to have a fever? Does this percentage suggest that a cutoff of

100.6 degrees Upper F

is appropriate?

b. Physicians want to select a minimum temperature for requiring further medical tests. What should that temperature be, if we want only 5.0% of healthy people to exceed it? (Such a result is a false positive, meaning that the test result is positive, but the subject is not really sick.)
