Answer:

0.2983

Explanation:

Let X be the reading on thermometer. Given that X is N(0,1)

We are to find the probability that a randomly selected thermometer reads between negative 0.12 and 1.02

Reqd probability =
P(0.12<x<1.12).

Since this x is already normal std variable x=z

i.e. reqd prob =
P(0.12<z<1.02) =0.3461 -0.0478\\=0.2983

Hence answer is 0.2983
