According to Table II, the area under the standard normal curve that lies to the left of is . Without further consulting Table II, determine the area under the standard normal curve that lies to the right of . Explain your reasoning.
Booted Eagles. The rare booted eagle of western Europe was the focus of a study by S. Suarez et al. to identify the optimal nesting habitat for this raptor. According to their paper "Nesting Habitat Selection by Booted Eagles (Hieraaefus pennatus) and Implications for Management" (Journal of Applied Ecology, Vol. 37. pp. 215-223). the distances of such nests to the nearest marshland are normally distributed with a mean and a standard deviation . Let be the distance of a randomly selected nest to the nearest marshland.
