MTH 147 – Fall 2015 Name:___________________
MWF 8:05am – 8:55am CSU ID:___________________
Exam 1 In-Class Part 2
Monday, November 16, 2015
Instruction: Please read through every question carefully and answer in as much detail as
possible. The exam is closed book and closed note. Calculators on cell phone will not be
permitted.
Dataset: Temp
Please load dataset Temp.csv
The data was derived from an article in the Journal of the American Medical Association entitled
"A Critical Appraisal of 98.6 Degrees F, the Upper Limit of the Normal Body Temperature, and
Other Legacies of Carl Reinhold August Wunderlich” and contains temperature, in Fahrenheit,
of 130 people.
Variable Names:
1. Temp ← Temperature in Fahrenheit
2. Gender ← 1 = Male, 2 = Female
3. Heart_Rate ← Heart Rate (in beats per minute)
Question 1
Using Minitab, construct a plot to show the distribution of Temp and determine:
Mean of Temp _______________________________________
Standard Deviation of Temp ____________________________
Mean of Temp for Just Males ___________________________
Standard Deviation of Temp for Just Males ________________
Mean of Temp for Just Females _________________________
Standard Deviation of Temp for Just Females ______________
Question 2
A. What proportion of people has a temperature less than 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit for all
subjects?
B. What proportion of people has a temperature less than 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit for all
Males?
C. What proportion of people has a temperature less than 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit fall all
Females?
D. Describe the differences between parts A, B, and C. Which has the largest proportion of
subjects and how do they compare overall?
Question 3
A. Calculate the 95%, 99%, and 99.9% confidence interval.
B. Why does the confidence interval get wider as the percent interval increases?
C. Explain what the confidence intervals in part A means.
D. A temperature of 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit has been commonly referred to as the normal
temperature. Given the 95%, 99% and 99.9% confidence interval is it likely that the
population mean temperature is 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit?
Question 4
A. Calculate the 95% confidence interval for just males and for just females
95% Confidence Intervals for Males _________________________________
95% Confidence Interval for Females ________________________________
B. Is 98.6 degrees of Fahrenheit a likely mean temperature for males or females?
C. Is it likely that males and females share the same population mean temperature? Explain
why or why not.
