Question 1130316: assume that the readings at freezing on a batch of thermometers are normally distributed with a mean of 0 degrees C and a standard deviation of 1.00 Degrees C. A single thermometer is randomly selected and tested. Find P88, the 88- percentile. This is the temperature reading separating the bottom 88% from the top 12%
P88= __ Degrees C
Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
from the table, 88th percentile is at z=1.175
that times the sd is +1.175 C.
