Body temperature data

This data contains measurements of 'Normal' Body Temperature, Gender, and Heart Rate of patients attending a vaccination clinic. The reading were taken by the medical staff at the clinic.

SIZE: 130 observations, 3 variables 

Data is adapted from a paper that examined whether the true mean body temperature is 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit.  
The temperatures have been converted to °C
