The area under the standard normal curve that lies to the left of a -score is always strictly between ------ and ------.
30. Northwest Atlantic Cod. Researchers M. Kroll et al. studied the influence of paternity on rates of mortality and development in eggs and larvae of Northwest Atlantic cod in the article, "Paternal Effects on Early Life History Traits in Northwest Atlantic Cod, Gadus morhua" (Journal of Applied Ichthyology, Vol. 29. Issue 3. pp. 623629). A sample of adult male Northwest Atlantic cod was collected in Nova Scotia, Canada. The following table gives the lengths, in centimeters , of the cod sampled.
a. Using Table III in Appendix A. construct a normal probability plot of the given data.
b. Use part (a) to identify any outliers.
c. Use part (a) to assess the normality of the variable under consideration.
Explain why the percentage of all possible observations of a normally distributed variable that lie within two standard deviations to either side of the mean equals the area under the standard normal curve between and.

In 1902, W. R. Macdonell published the article "On Criminal Anthropometry and the Identification of Criminals" (Biometrika, Vol. 1. Pp. 177-227). Among other things. the author presented data on the left middle finger length, in centimeters. The following table provides the midpoints and frequencies of the finger-length classes used.

Use these data and the technology of your choice to assess the normality of middle finger length of criminals by using
a. a histogram.
b. a normal probability plot.
