Answer :
Final Answer:
Approximately 90% of healthy adults have a body temperature that is above b) 97.5 degrees.
Explanation:
Approximately 90% of healthy adults have a body temperature above 97.5 degrees.
In the typical population, the average body temperature is around 98.6°F, which is generally considered normal.
To calculate 90% of this value, we multiply 98.6 by 0.90, resulting in 88.74.
Since we're looking for a value above this, we round it up to the nearest significant temperature, which is 97.5°F.
The body temperature of healthy individuals can vary slightly, but it's widely accepted that 90% of adults have a body temperature exceeding 97.5°F.
This conclusion aligns with medical standards and research on average body temperatures. Option B is correct.
