Body temperatures Most people think that the “normal” adult body temperature is 98.6F. That figure, based on a 19th-century study, has recently been challenged. In a 1992 article in the Journal of the American Medical Association, researchers reported that a more accurate figure may be 98.2F. Furthermore, the standard deviation appeared to be around 0.7F. Assume that a Normal model is appropriate

c) Below what body temperature are the coolest 20% of all people?
