Assume the readings on thermometers are normally distributed with a mean of 0 degrees c and a standard deviation of 1.00 degrees c. Find the probability that a randomly selected thermometer reads between -1.71 and -0.72 and draw a sketh of the region.
-----------------
z(-1.71) = (-1.71-0)/1 = -1.71
z(0.72) = 0.72
---------------
P(-1.71 < x < 0.72) = P(-1.71< z < 0.72) = normalcdf(-1.71,0.72) = 0.7206
----------------
