We are given that the incubation time is normally distributed with a mean of 35 days and standard deviation of 2 days. Therefore, ? =   and ? =   . We wish to determine how many of the 10,000 eggs can be expected to hatch in 31 to 39 days. Since  35 − 31 = 4,  31 days is located   standard deviations to the left of the mean. Similarly, 39 days is located   standard deviations to the right of the mean.

Question

We are given that the incubation time is normally distributed with a mean of 35 days and standard deviation of 2 days. Therefore, ? =   and ? =   .

We wish to determine how many of the 10,000 eggs can be expected to hatch in 31 to 39 days. Since 

35 − 31 = 4,

 31 days is located   standard deviations to the left of the mean. Similarly, 39 days is located   standard deviations to the right of the mean.
