Final answer:
To find the P94 for the given normal distribution, one must add 1.55 standard deviations to the mean, which gives us a 94th percentile temperature of 1.55°C.
Step-by-step explanation:
The student is asking to find the 94th percentile of a normal distribution with a mean of 0°C and a standard deviation of 1.00°C. To find the 94th percentile, we can use the z-score table or a normal distribution calculator. Since the normal distribution is symmetric about the mean, we can look up the z-score that corresponds to an area of 0.94 to the left of it. The z-score that corresponds to the 94th percentile is approximately 1.55. Therefore, we add 1.55 standard deviations to the mean to find the temperature reading that separates the bottom 94% from the top 6%.
To calculate the temperature: P94 = mean + (z-score × standard deviation) = 0°C + (1.55 × 1.00°C) = 1.55°C. Hence, P94 is 1.55°C.
