Suppose that the incubation times are approximately normally distributed with a standard deviation of 1 day. Complete parts (a) through (e) below. 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.)
