Assume that thermometer readings are normally distributed with a mean of 100o F and a standard deviation of 0.15o F. a) Draw and label a sketch of the normal distribution of the thermometer readings. Include all pertinent data for the distribution b) A thermometer is randomly selected and tested. Find the probability that the thermometer reads between 99.86o F and 100.07o F. Draw a sketch of the distribution and shade the probability. Write out any calculator commands that you used.

The parameters of the normal distribution of the thermometer readings are its mean and the standard deviation

The probability that a thermometer reading is between 99.86o F and 100.07o F is 0.5403

The sketch of the normal distribution of the thermometer

The given parameters are:

  • Mean, μ = 100
  • Standard deviation, σ = 0.15

Next, we draw the normal distribution using a graphing calculator.

See attachment for the sketch of the normal distribution of the thermometer

The probability that a thermometer reading is between 99.86o F and 100.07o F

This means that:

x = 99.86 and x = 100.07

The probability is calculated as:

P(99.86 < x < 100.07) = P(x > 99.86) - P(x < 100.07)

Using the attached graph, we have:

P(99.86 < x < 100.07) = 0.5403
