Question

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 “Reproduction Biology of Uruguayan Theraphosids' ' we find that the carapace length of the adult male is normally distributed with mean 18.14 mm and standard deviation 1.76 mm.

Find the percentage of adult male G. mollicoma that have carapace length between 16 mm and 17mm
Find the percentage of adult male G mollicoma that have carapace length exceeding 19mm.

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
