A voltmeter is used to measure a known voltage of 110 V. Fifty
percent of the readings are within 0.5 V of the mean value.
Assuming a normal distribution for the error, estimate the standard
deviation for the voltmeter. What is the probability that a single
reading will have an error greater than 1.0 V?
