Question

The mean incubation time of fertilized eggs is 21 days. Suppose the incubation times are approximately normally distributed with a standard deviation of 1 day.

(a) Determine the 13th percentile for incubation times.

(b) Determine the incubation times that make up the middle 97% of fertilized eggs.

(Round to the nearest whole number as needed.)

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
