Carl Wunderlich reported that the mean temperature of humans is 98.6F. TO test this long-held belief, medical researchers measured the temperature of 36 randomly selected healthy adults. The sample data resulted in a sample mean of 98.2F and a population standard deviation of 0.6F. Assuming that the population is normal, test whether the mean temperature of humans is different from 98.6F at the 5% significance level.
