Expert Solution
Step 1

A thermometer readings are always normally distributed with a mean of 0°C and a standard deviation of 1°C

Mean , μ = 0

standard deviation, σ = 1

It represents Standard Normal distribution with Random variable Z

 

One thermometer randomly selected and tested

We have to calculate  : P(-1.12 < z < 1.05)
