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.
