4. The Precision Scientific Instrument Company manufacturers thermometers that are supposed to give readings of 0°C 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 0°C and some give readings above 0°C. Assume that the mean reading is 0°C and the standard deviation of the readings is 1.00°C. Also assume that the frequency distribution of errors closely resembles the normal distribution. A thermometer is randomly selected and tested. If 10.2% of the thermometers are rejected because they have readings that are too high and another 10.2% are rejected because they have readings that are too low, find the two readings that are cutoff values separating the rejected thermometers from the others.

The Precision Scientific Instrument Company manufactures
thermometers that are supposed to give readings of 0 C 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 0 C (denoted by negative numbers) and some give
readings above 0 C (denoted by positive numbers). Assume that the
mean reading is 0 C and the standard deviation of the readings is
0.08 C. Also assume that...

Assume that the readings on the thermometers are normally
distributed with a mean of 0 degrees and standard deviation of
1.00degrees 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.
The cutoff values are ____? degrees.

A company has a policy of retiring company cars; this policy
looks at number of miles driven, purpose of trips, style of car and
other features. The distribution of the number of months in service
for the fleet of cars is bell-shaped and has a mean of 62 months
and a standard deviation of 5 months. Using the empirical rule (as
presented in the book), what is the approximate percentage of cars
that remain in service between 67 and 72...
