Assume that the readings on the thermometers are normally distributed with a mean of 0 degrees and standard deviation of 1.00deg
reesC. Assume 3.3% of the thermometers are rejected because they have readings that are too high and another 3.3% 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.

Step-by-step explanation:
Hello!
The variable of interest is the readings on thermometers. This variable is normally distributed with mean μ= 0 degrees C and standard deviation σ= 1.00 degrees C.
The objective is to find the readings that are in the top 3.3% of the distribution and the lowest 3.3% of the distribution.
Symbolically:
The lower value P(X≤a)=0.033
Top value P(X≥b)=0.033
(see attachment)
Lower value:
The accumulated probability until "a" is 0.03, since the variable has a normal distribution, to reach the value of temperature that has the lowest 3.3%, you have to work under the standard normal distribution.
First we look the Z value corresponding to 0.033 of probability:
Z= -1.838
Now you reverste the standardization using the formula Z= (a-μ)/δ
a= (Z*δ)+μ
a= (-1.838*1)+0
a= -1.838
Top value:
P(X≥b)=0.033
This value has 0.033 of the distribution above it then 1 - 0.033= 0.967
is below it.
You can rewrite the expression as:
P(X≤b)=0.967
Now you have to look the value of Z that corresponds to 0.967 of accumulated probability:
b= (Z*δ)+μ
b= (1.838*1)+0
b= 1.838
The cutoff values that separates rejected thermometers from the others are -1.838 and 1.838 degrees C.
I hope it helps!

The given equation is
Consider the slope-intercept form.
Rewriting the given equation in the slope-intercept form.
Subtracting 3x from both sides, we get
Dividing both sides by 5, we get
Compared to the slope-intercept form, we get m=-0.6 and b=1.4.
Hence the slope m= -0.60.
Where two lines cross, four (4) angles are formed. Two adjacent angles that share a vertex can be called a "linear pair." Two non-adjacent angles that have the same vertex and the same lines for sides, are called "vertical angles."
Where a transversal crosses two parallel lines, eight (8) angles are formed, four (4) at each intersection. In addition to the above angle types, there are other relationships that can be described.
Angles can be called <em>corresponding</em>, if they are in the same location relative to the intersection point (both on the north-east corner, for example). Angles are <em>interior</em> if they are between the parallel lines; <em>exterior</em> of they are not. They get the additional descriptor of <em>opposite</em>, if they are on opposite sides of the transversal.
If the angles are not opposite, and share a side but not a vertex, they can be called <em>adjacent</em>. (Only <em>interior</em> angles can be adjacent, one pair on either side of the transversal.)

With the above definitions in mind, several <u>relationships</u> arise where a transversal crosses parallel lines. (<u>Types</u> of angles are <em>italicized</em>.) Two examples of each type are listed by angle numbers. Angles 1 and 2 are a linear pair, for example.
Angles of a <em>linear pair</em> are supplementary. (1, 2), (5, 7)
<em>Vertical</em> angles are congruent. (1, 4), (6, 7)
<em>Adjacent</em> angles are supplementary. (3, 5), (4, 6)
<em>Corresponding</em> angles are congruent. (1, 5), (4, 8)
<em>Opposite interior</em> angles are congruent. (3, 6), (4, 5)
<em>Opposite exterior</em> angles are congruent. (1, 8), (2, 7)
