Human body temperatures have a mean of 98.20degrees°F and a standard deviation of 0.62degrees°F. Sally's temperature can be described by zequals=minus−1.5. What is her temperature? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

Her temperature is 97.27ºF.

Step-by-step explanation:

Z-score:

In a set with mean and standard deviation , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question:

Z = -1.5. What is her temperature?

Her temperature is X when Z = -1.5. So

Her temperature is 97.27ºF.
