Question
Assume that the readings on the thermometers are normally distributed with a mean of
and standard deviation of
1.00°C.
Assume
2.4​%
of the thermometers are rejected because they have readings that are too high and another
2.4​%
are rejected because they have readings that are too low. Draw a sketch and find the two readings that are cutoff values separating the rejected thermometers from the others.
