The Precision Scientific Instrument Company manufactures thermometers that are supposed to give readings of 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 (denoted by negative numbers) and some give readings above (denoted by positive
numbers) . Assume that the mean reading is and the standard deviation of the readings is 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 7% of the thermometers are rejected because they have readings that are too low, but all other thermometers are acceptable, find the temperature that separates the rejected thermometers from the others.
A) -1.26°
B) -1.39°
C) -1.53°
D) -1.48°
