The Precision Scientific Instrument Company manufactures thermometers that are supposed to give readings of 0°C at the freezing point of water. Tests on a large sample of these thermometers reveal that at the freezing point of water, some give readings below 0°C (denoted by negative numbers) and some give readings above 0°C (denoted by positive numbers) . Assume that the mean reading is 0°C and the standard deviation of the readings is 1.00°C. Also assume that the frequency distribution of errors closely resembles the normal distribution. A thermometer is randomly selected and tested. Find the temperature reading corresponding to the given information.
-If 6.3% of the thermometers are rejected because they have readings that are too high and another 6.3% are rejected because they have readings that are too low, find the two readings that are cutoff values separating the rejected thermometers from the others.
A) -1.39° , 1.39°
B) -1.46° , 1.46°
C) -1.45° , 1.45°
D) -1.53° , 1.53°
