SOLUTION: The incubation time for chicks is normally distributed with mean 21 days and standard deviation approximately 1 day. If 1000 eggs are being incubated, how many chicks do we expect

mean = 21 days
standfard deviation = 1 day

total of 1000 eggs are being incubated.

how many checks are expected to hatch in:

a) in 19 to 23 days?
.954 * 1000 = 954

b) in 22 days or more?
.159 * 1000 = 159

c) in 21 days or fewer?
.5 * 1000 = 500

d) in 18 to 21 days?
.499 * 1000 = 499

e) in 19 days or fewer
.023 * 1000 = 23

f) in 19 to 24 days?
.976 * 1000 = 976

g) in 18 to 24 days?
.997 * 1000 = 997

h) in 18 days or more?
.999 * 1000 = 999
