The body temperatures of n=130 healthy adults were measured. Average temperature

Question

The body temperatures of n=130 healthy adults were measured. Average temperature from the sample was found to be x=98.249 with standard deviation s=0.7332. do these statistics contradict the belie that the average body temperature is 98.6? If the true average temperature is 98.6F and we obtained a sample of n=130 healthy adults, we would not expect the sample mean to come out exactly to 98.6F. We observed x=98.249 - can this deviation from 98.6 be explained by chance or is it unlikely we would observe a value different from 98.6?
