The probability that at a random moment in time the body temperature of a healthy person will be lower than
The probability that at a random moment in time the body temperature of a healthy person will be lower than 36.8 degrees Celsius is 0.83. find the probability that at a random moment in time a healthy person will have a temperature of 36.8 or higher.
Since the general probability of the event: the human body temperature is less than 36.8 ºС, more than 36.8 ºС or equal to 36.8 ºС, corresponds to one, and the probability that it will be lower than 36.8 ºС is equal to 0.83, then the probability the fact that at a random moment in time the temperature of the human body is 36.8 ºС or higher is equal to: 1 – 0.83 = 0.17 or 17%.
Answer: The probability that at a random moment in time the body temperature of a person is 36.8 ºС or higher is 0.17 or 17%.
