Question
![Assume the readings on thermometers are normally distributed with a mean of 0°C and a standard deviation of 1.00°C. Find the probability that a randomly selected thermometer reads between -1.99 and -0.67 and draw a sketch of the region.
**Sketch the region. Choose the correct graph below.**
**Options:**
- **A.** A normal distribution curve with the region between -1.99 and -0.67 shaded on the left side of the mean.
- **B.** A normal distribution curve with the region between -1.99 and -0.67 shaded on both sides of the mean.
- **C.** A normal distribution curve with the region between -1.99 and -0.67 shaded on the right side of the mean.
The probability is [ ].
(Round to four decimal places as needed.)
*Click to select your answer(s).*
(Note: In option C, the shaded region correctly highlights the area between -1.99 and -0.67 on the left side of the mean on the normal distribution curve, indicating the probability of this range.)](https://content.bartleby.com/qna-images/question/0cb90495-7be7-4df7-831c-cee0d9583d28/e5a65f31-8c32-4fff-8c18-c72b2d74e31d/c5oe84a_thumbnail.jpeg)

Transcribed Image Text:The image shows a laptop screen displaying two pages of a Standard Normal Table, commonly used in statistics to find the probabilities associated with a standard normal distribution (Z-scores).
### **Standard Normal Table (Page 1):**
- **Z-Score Values:** Range from -1.6 to 0.0, with increments of 0.1.
- **Probability Values:** Displayed as four-digit numbers representing cumulative probabilities for each Z-score.
- **Table Layout:** The leftmost column represents the Z-score, and the subsequent columns correspond to the second decimal place of the Z-score.
- **Example Entry:** For a Z-score of -1.6 and 0.05, the cumulative probability is 0.0548.
- **Note:** For Z-scores below -3.49, use an area of 0.0001.
- **Interpolation Example:**
- Z = -1.645, Area = 0.0500
- Z = -2.575, Area = 0.0050
### **Standard Normal Table (Page 2):**
- **Z-Score Values:** Range from 2.0 to 3.4, with increments of 0.1.
- **Probability Values:** Displayed as four-digit numbers similar to page 1.
- **Layout:** The format mirrors page 1, with Z-scores in the leftmost column.
- **Example Entry:** For a Z-score of 2.0 and 0.03, the cumulative probability is 0.9778.
- **Note:** For Z-scores above 3.49, use an area of 0.9999.
- **Interpolation Example:**
- Z = 1.645, Area = 0.9500
- Z = 2.575, Area = 0.9950
### **Common Critical Values Table:**
- **Confidence Level 90%:** Critical Z = 1.645
- **Confidence Level 95%:** Critical Z = 1.960
- **Confidence Level 99%:** Critical Z = 2.576
### **Additional Notes:**
- The tables provide a quick reference to find probabilities and Z-scores without the need for calculation.
- “Print” and “Done” buttons are visible, indicating options for output or closure of the screen.
This setup aids in the understanding of how Z-scores relate
