SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on calculating the body temperature corresponding to a z-score of 1.73 using the formula for the standard normal distribution. Given a mean (μ) of 98.20 and a standard deviation (σ) of 0.62, the formula to find x is x = μ + z * σ. Substituting the values, the calculation yields a body temperature of approximately 99.16 degrees Fahrenheit.
