Assume that Thermometer readings are normally distributed with a mean of 0°C and standard deviation of 1.00°C. A Thermometer is
randomly selected and tested. For the case below, draw a sketch, and find the probability of the reading. (The given values are in Celsius degrees)
Between 0.50 and 2.00
The probability of getting a reading between 0.50C and 2.00C is ____.
Between 0.50 and 2.00
The probability of getting a reading between 0.50C and 2.00C is ____.
1 answer:
Answer:
0.2857
Step-by-step explanation:
The probability of interest is the area under the probability density curve between the z-values associated with the temperature limits of interest.
__
The first attachment shows a "sketch" of the distribution and the area of the portion of interest. (It also shows the probability as 0.2858.)
__
The second attachment shows the table values of interest for this problem. The z-values that we want to look for in the table are ...
z1 = (0.50° -0°)/1.00° = 0.50
and
z2 = (2.00° -0°)/1.00° = 2.00
The area of the probability density function to the left of each of these z-values is given in the table, so the area between them is the difference of table values:
0.9772 -0.6915 = 0.2857
The probability of a reading between 0.50 and 2.00 is about 0.2857.

The unit of measurement is not specified, so for the sake of this problem, we'll assume it's radians (If you need it in degrees, I'll be happy to edit).
Find the compliment of 0.25:
Complementary angles add up to 90 degrees. In radians, this would be π/2. If you're unsure how I got this, check degrees to radian conversions.
The compliment of 0.25 would be
(1/4=0.25)
(This is the simplified form in case you're homework needs it in this form)
That's the compliment. In decimal (rounded to the nearest hundredth), this would be 1.32 radians.
Find the supplement of 7π/8:
Supplementary angles add up to 180 degrees. In radians, this would be π.
The supplement would be the following:
Thus, the supplement is π/8 radians. If any of this struck you as confusing, comment and I'd be happy to clarify.
