Most people think that the "typical" 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. Assume that adult body temperature is normally distributed and the mean temperature is 98.2F. What is the standard deviation if 10.7% of adults have "typical" body temperatures over 99F?
