Giant Tarantulas. One of the larger species of tarantulas is the Grammostola mollicoma, whose common name is the Brazilian giant tawny red. A tarantula has two body parts. The anterior part of the body is covered above by a shell, or carapace. From a recent article by F. Costa and F. Perez–Miles titled “Reproductive Biology of Uruguayan Theraphosids” (The Journal of Arachnology, Vol. 30, No. 3, pp. 571–587), we find that the carapace length of the adult male G. mollicoma is
- a. Sketch the distribution of the variable x.
- b. Obtain the standardized version, z, of x.
- c. Identify and sketch the distribution of z.
- d. The percentage of adult male G. mollicoma that have carapace length between 16 mm and 17 mm is equal to the area under the standard normal curve between _________ and _________.
- e. The percentage of adult male G. mollicoma that have carapace length exceeding 19 mm is equal to the area under the standard normal curve that lies to the _________ of _________.

- "Lawsuit Claims Nightclub Fired Waitresses for Being Too Short" was a headline of Fox5 News New York. According to the report, two women filed suit against their previous employer, a prominent New York nightclub, after the two aspiring petite actresses, 5ft. 3in and 5ft. 4in. respectively, were fired for being too short to meet the club's image requirement. The report also claims that these two waitresses "are both roughly the same size as the average American woman at 5ft. 3in. tall."Suppose that the height of a randomly selected adult woman is approximately normal with mean 66 inches and standard deviation 2.5 inches.Find the minimum height requirement that would exclude 95% of all women from being waitresses at this nightclub.
