The mean incubation time for a type of fertilized egg kept at a certain temperature is 20 days. Suppose that the incubation times are approximately normally distributed with a standard deviation of 1 da Click here to view the standard normal distribution table (page 1). Click here to view the standard normal distribution table (page 2). (b) Find and interpret the probability that a randomly selected fertilized egg hatches in less than 18 days The probability that a randomly selected fertilized egg hatches in less than 18 days is. (Round to four decimal places as needed.) Interpret this probability. Select the correct choice below and fill in the answer box to complete your choice. O A. If 100 fertilized eggs were randomly selected, of them would be expected to hatch in less than 18 days. (Round to the nearest integer as needed.) O B. The average proportion of the way to hatching of all eggs fertilized in the past 18 days is (Round to two decimal places as needed.) OC. In every group of 100 fertilized eggs, eggs will hatch in less than 18 days. (Round to the nearest integer as needed.) (c) Find and interpret the probability that a randomly selected fertilized egg takes over 22 days to hatch. The probability that a randomly selected fertilized egg takes over 22 days to hatch is (Round to four decimal places as needed.) Interpret this probability. Select the correct choice below and fill in the answer box to complete your choice. O A. In every group of 100 fertilized eggs, (Round to the nearest integer as needed.) eggs will hatch in more than 22 days. O B. If 100 fertilized eggs were randomly selected, of them would be expected to take more than 22 days to hatch.
