Answer:

0.0326 = 3.26% probability that a randomly selected thermometer reads between −2.23 and −1.69.

The sketch is drawn at the end.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the z-score of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Mean of 0°C and a standard deviation of 1.00°C.

This means that \mu = 0, \sigma = 1

Find the probability that a randomly selected thermometer reads between −2.23 and −1.69

This is the p-value of Z when X = -1.69 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = -2.23.

X = -1.69

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{-1.69 - 0}{1}

Z = -1.69

Z = -1.69 has a p-value of 0.0455

X = -2.23

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{-2.23 - 0}{1}

Z = -2.23

Z = -2.23 has a p-value of 0.0129

0.0455 - 0.0129 = 0.0326

0.0326 = 3.26% probability that a randomly selected thermometer reads between −2.23 and −1.69.

Suppose you are the president of the student government. You wish to conduct a survey to determine the student​ body's opinion r
patriot [66]

The best way to five students from a list of 626 students available such that it exhibits a random process is to List each name on a separate piece of paper; place them all in a hat, and pick five.

The selection process which should be undertaken by the student government, should be one which is inclusive and representative. Hence, the five students to be selected which makes up the sample of the total student should be chosen at random and transparently.

Hence, listing the names of each student on a Seperate piece of paper, placing it in a hat and making 5 selections showcase randomness and transparency, hence, it should be the adopted selection process.
