- Assume that the readings on the thermometers are normally distributed with a mean of 0° and standard deviation of 1.00°C. Assume 2.7% of the thermometers are rejected because they have readings that are too high and another 2.7% are rejected because they have readings that are too low. Draw a sketch and find the two readings that are cutoff values separating the rejected thermometers from the others. Click to view page 1 of the table. Click to view page 2 of the table.
