PROBLEM: One brand of baby bathtub comes with a dial to set the water temperature. When the "babysafe" setting is selected and the tub is filled, the temperature X of the water in a randomly selected bath follows a Normal distribution with a mean of 34°C and a standard deviation of 2°C. Let Y be the water temperature in degrees Fahrenheit for the randomly selected bath. Recall that F=95 C+32F = C+32 a. Find the mean of Y. b. Calculate and interpret the standard deviation of Y.

PROBLEM: One brand of baby bathtub comes with a dial to set the water temperature.
When the "babysafe” setting is selected and the tub is filled, the temperature X of the water
in a randomly selected bath follows a Normal distribution with a mean of 34°C and a
standard deviation of 2°C. Let Y be the water temperature in degrees Fahrenheit for the
randomly selected bath. Recall that F=95 C+32F = C+32
a. Find the mean of Y.
b. Calculate and interpret the standard deviation of Y.
