Question

Assume that the readings on the thermometers are normally distributed with a mean of 0 degrees and standard deviation of 1.00 degrees C. A thermometer is randomly selected and tested. Draw a sketch and find the temperature reading corresponding to Upper P 84, the 84 th percentile. This is the temperature reading separating the bottom 84 % from the top 16 %.

A. Which graph represents Upper P 84?

B. The temperature for Upper P 84 is approximately

(Round to two decimal places as needed.)

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
