Assume that the readings on the thermometers are normally distributed with a mean of 0 degrees0° and standard deviation of 1.00d
egrees°C. Assume 2.72.7% of the thermometers are rejected because they have readings that are too high and another 2.72.7% 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.

Answer:
The diagram is attached below.
Step-by-step explanation:
A normal distribution mean 0 and standard deviation 1 is known as the standard normal distribution.
So, the readings on the thermometers (denoted by <em>Z</em>) follows N (0, 1).
It is provided that 2.7% of the thermometers are rejected because they have readings that are too high and 2.7% are rejected because they have readings that are too low.
This implies that:
The value of <em>z</em> associated to both these probabilities are:
<em>z</em> = 1.93.
That is,
*Use a <em>z</em>-table.
The diagram for the two readings that are cutoff values separating the rejected thermometers from the others is attached below.

We are given :
The ratio of orange juice to pineapple juice in tropical treat punch = 4:3 or 4/3.
Number of oz of orange juice = 64 oz.
Let us assume number of oz pineapple juice does he need = p.
We can setup an proportion:
64 : p = 4 : 3
On cross multiplication we get
64 × 3 = 4 × p
192 = 4p
Dividing both sides by 4, we get
p = 48.
<h3>Therefore, he needs 48 oz of pineapple juice.</h3>
