Answer :
Let's analyze the given table and the possible answers to determine the correct one.
[tex]\[
\begin{array}{|l|c|c|c|c|c|}
\hline
& \multicolumn{5}{|c|}{\text{Subject}} \\
\hline
& 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 \\
\hline
8 \text{ AM} & 97.0 & 98.5 & 97.6 & 97.7 & 98.7 \\
\hline
12 \text{ AM} & 97.6 & 97.8 & 98.0 & 98.4 & 98.4 \\
\hline
\end{array}
\][/tex]
To determine if there's a meaningful way in which each body temperature recorded at 8 AM is matched with the 12 AM temperature, let's go through the options one by one:
Option A: Yes. Each column of 8 AM and 12 AM temperatures is recorded from the same subject, so each pair is matched.
- This option suggests that each 8 AM temperature is paired with the corresponding 12 AM temperature for the same subject. This explanation fits the given data structure, as each column represents temperatures from the same subject at two different times.
Option B: No. The 8 AM temperatures are from one individual over five days and the 12 AM temperatures are from another individual over five days.
- This option implies that the temperatures at 8 AM and 12 AM are from different individuals. This explanation does not fit, because the table explicitly labels individual subjects, indicating that both 8 AM and 12 AM temperatures are from the same individuals.
Option C: Yes. The 8 AM temperatures are all from one individual over five days and the 12 AM temperatures are from a different individual on the same five days, so each pair is matched.
- This option implies a mismatch in subjects, which contradicts the table indicating specific subjects.
Option D: Yes. The 8 AM temperatures are all from one individual over five days and the 12 AM temperatures are from the same individual on the same each pair is matched.
- This option is similar to Option A but includes a typo or redundancy. It seems to intend to communicate the same principle as Option A but does so in a confusing manner.
Given these considerations and the provided information, the correct choice is:
A. Yes. Each column of 8 AM and 12 AM temperatures is recorded from the same subject, so each pair is matched.
