Suppose that the readings on the thermometers are normally distributed with a mean of 0∘0∘ and a standard deviation of 1.00∘C. If 12% of the thermometers are rejected because they have readings that are too high, but all other thermometers are acceptable, find the reading that separates the rejected thermometers from the others.
