The Precision Scientific Instrument Company manufactures thermometers that are supposed to give readings of 0°C at the freezing point of water. Tests on a large sample of these thermometers reveal that at the freezing point of water, some give readings below 0°C (denoted by negative numbers) and some give readings above 0°C (denoted by positive numbers). Assume that the mean reading is 0°C and the standard deviation of the readings is 1.00°C Also assume that the frequency distribution of errors closely resembles the normal distribution. A thermometer is randomly selected and tested. Find the temperature reading corresponding to the given information. Note: For parts A and B, enter only a number, positive or negative, rounded to two decimal places as needed. Do not enter the degree symbol ° nor the celsius symbol C. Do not enter any spaces. (Part A) 9.1% of the thermometers are rejected because they have readings that are too low. Which reading separates these rejected thermometers from the others? A reading of °C (Part B) 9.1% of the thermometers are rejected because they have readings that are too high. Which reading separates these rejected thermometers from the others? A reading of °℃
