Assume that the readings at freezing on a batch of thermometers are normally distributed with a mean of 0°C and a standard deviation of 1.00°C. A single thermometer is randomly selected and tested. Find P50, the 50-percentile. This is the temperature reading separating the bottom 50% from the top 50%. P50 °C (Round answer to three decimal places)
