Under normal conditions, is the average body temperature the same for men and women? Medical researchers interested in this question collected data from a large number of men and women, and random samples from that data are presented in the accompanying table.¹⁴ Is there sufficient evidence to indicate that mean body temperatures differ for men and women?
