Is 98.6 degrees F the true normal average temperature?

45 Views Asked by At

I have a file containing a sample of body temperatures from both men and women where the average temperature is about 98.25 degrees F, I wanna know if 98.6 degrees F is the "true normal". I'm not really sure what is meant by "true normal" but I'm supposed to apply a some statistical hypothesis test to solve it. Do anyone know what is meant by true normal and if so suggest how I could apply a statistical test, Thank you.
