Question

Assume the readings on thermometers are normally distributed with a mean of 0degreesC and a standard deviation of 1.00degreesC. Find the probability that a randomly selected thermometer reads between negative 0.12 and 1.02

Answer 1

Answer:

0.2983

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the reading on thermometer.  Given that X is N(0,1)

We are to find the probability that a randomly selected thermometer reads between negative 0.12 and 1.02

Reqd probability = $P(0.12$.

Since this x is already normal std variable x=z

i.e. reqd prob = $P(0.12$

Hence answer is 0.2983
