A data set includes 106 body temperatures of healthy adult humans having a mean of 98.9degreesF and a standard deviation of 0.62degreesF. Construct a 99% confidence interval estimate of the mean body temperature of all healthy humans. What does the sample suggest about the use of 98.6degreesF as the mean body temperature?

the sample suggest about the use of 98.6 degrees F as the mean body temperature does not fall in the above 99% Confidence interval, it suggests that the mean is < 98.6 degrees F
CI estimate of population mean is 98.742 < μ < 99.058
