The body temperatures of a group of healthy adults have a bell-shaped distribution with a mean of 98.39degreesf and a standard deviation of 0.48degreesf. using the empirical rule, find each approximate percentage below. a. what is the approximate percentage of healthy adults with body temperatures within 2 standard deviations of the mean, or between 97.43degreesf and 99.35degreesf? b. what is the approximate percentage of healthy adults with body temperatures between 97.91degreesf and 98.87degreesf?

a) 95%

b) 68%

Explanation:

Here the distribution given to us is:

a) 97.43 can be written as 98.39 - 2\times 0.48 that is 2 standard deviation.

According to empirical rule, 95% of the observations lies within 2 standard deviations of the mean.

Therefore 95% is the correct answer here.

b) 97.91 can be written as: 98.39 - 1*0.53 that is 1 standard deviations less than the mean

Also, 98.87 = 98.39 + 0.48 that is 1 standard deviations above the mean.

According to the empirical rule, 68%  of the observations lies within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

-first use of geothermal energy occurred more than 10,000 years ago in north america by american paleo-indians

-the first industrial use of geothermal energy began near pisa, italy in late 18th century

-in 1904, italian scientist piero ginori conti invented the first geothermal electric power plant in which steam was used to generate the power

-with the above experiment, the first geothermal plant in usa started in 1922 with a capacity of 250 kilowatts

-however, in 1946 first ground-source geothermal heat pump installed at commonwealth building in portland, oregon

-during the 1960’s, pacific gas and electric began operation of first large scale geothermal power plant in san francisco, producing 11 megawatts

-in 1973, when oil crisis began many countries began looking for renewable energy sources and by 1980’s geothermal heat pumps (ghp) started gaining popularity in order to reduce heating and cooling costs

-as effect of climate change started showing results, governments of various countries joined hands to fight against it, for which kyoto protocol was signed in japan in 1997, laid out emission targets for rich countries and required that they transfer funds and technology to developing countries, 184 countries have ratified it
