Find and interpret the probability that a randomly selected fertilized egg hatches in less than 16 days. The probability that a randomly selected fertilized egg hatches in less than 16 days is negative 1. (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. A. The average proportion of the way to hatching of all eggs fertilized in the past 16 days is nothing. (Round to two decimal places as needed.) B. If 100 fertilized eggs were randomly selected, nothing of them would be expected to hatch in less than 16 days. (Round to the nearest integer as needed.)

the answer   is 200

step-by-step explanation:

this is a problem about poisson probabilities.   i don't know if you've

already studied poisson distributions, or if you have a place to look

to read more about the subject.  

here's how you can see a poisson distribution coming.   when there are

a lot of events that may happen at any time (or any place), and when

you're counting how many of them happen at a particular time (or a

particular place), and each event is independent of the others, then

the result is a poisson distribution.   this is roughly true for the

chocolate chips; one chip being in a cookie has only a small effect on

the probability that another chip will be in the cookie.

once you know you have a poisson distribution, you know a lot.   there

is only one parameter to a poisson distribution, so if you know the

mean, you know everything.   the form of the distribution is

  probability of n chips = {[e^(-x)]*(x^n)} / (n! )
