The thermometer has a traceable calibration.
However this only says that the measured value is correct within an interval of
±
0.2
°
C. What is the underlying distribution??
5.2
All one can do is to
suppose
that there is a symmetric lower and upper bound of the
interval {
T
-
∆
,
T
+
∆
}, and that any value between this interval has an
equal probability
