assume the readings on thermometers are normally distributed with a mean of 0 C and a standard deviation of 1.00 C. Find the probability P(-2.08<z<2.08), where z is the reading in degrees.

Z is typically used to indicate a standard score, rather than a raw score.

Z = (score-mean)/SD

Find table in the back of your statistics text labeled something like "areas under normal distribution" to find the proportion between the two Z scores.
