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. Find the percentage of adult male G. mollicoma that have carapace length between 16 mm and 17 mm.
- b. Find the percentage of adult male G. mollicoma that have carapace length exceeding 19 mm.
- c. Determine and interpret the quartiles for carapace length of the adult male G. mollicoma.
- d. Obtain and interpret the 95th percentile for carapace length of the adult male G. mollicoma.

- Wild irises are beautiful flowers found throughout the United States, Canada, and northern Europe. This problem concerns the length of the sepal (leaf-like part covering the flower) of different species of wild iris. Data are based on information taken from an article by R. A. Fisher in Annals of Eugenics (Vol. 7, part 2, pp. 179 -188).

What is the probability you get at least a "4"? (b) Throw two astragali. What is the probability that you get "6" on both? (c) Throw two astragali. What is the probability of getting at least one "3"? (d) A popular game in ancient Rome, "rolling of the bones" consisted of throwing four astragali together. The lowest score (i.e. getting a "1" in all the four astragali) was called the "dog throw".

This research question was examined in an article. Eight Caucasian males and eight Caucasian females posed for nose photos. The article states that none of the volunteers wore nose studs or had prominent nasal hair. Each person placed a black Lycra tube over his or her head in such a way that only the nose protruded through a hole in the material. Photos were then taken from three different angles: front view, three-quarter view, and profile. These photos were shown to a sample of undergraduate students. Each student in the sample was shown one of the nose photos and asked whether it was a photo of a male or a female. The response was then classified as either correct or incorrect. The following table was constructed using summary values reported in the article.

- An article in Electronic Components and Technology Conference (2002, Vol. 52, pp. 1167-1171) compared single versus dual spindle saw processes for copper metallized wafers. A total of 15 devices of each type were measured for the width of the backside chipouts, Xaingle = 66.385, saingle = 7.895and double = 45.278, Sdouble = 8.612. Use a = 0.05 and assume that both populations are normally distributed and have the same variance. (a) Do the sample data support the claim that both processes have the same mean width of backside chipouts? (b) Construct a 95% two-sided confidence interval on the mean difference in width of backside chipouts. SH, - Ha sl Round your answer to two decimal places (e.g. 98.76).
