    Let Z be the reading on thermometer. Z follows Standard Normal distribution with mean μ = 0 and standard deviation σ=1

    The probability that randomly selected thermometer reads greater than 2.07 is

    P (z > 2.07) = 1 - P (z < 2.07)

    Using z score table to find probability below z=2.07

    P (Z < 2.07) = 0.9808

    P (z > 2.07) = 1 - 0.9808

    P (z > 2.07) = 0.0192

    The probability that a randomly selected thermometer reads greater than 2.07 is 0.0192
