Select the correct answer from the drop-down menu.

A classroom monitors chicken eggs in various temperatures. The table shows the class's recorded results. Using the data in the table, a conclusion is made by calculating probabilities related to a randomly selected egg.

\begin{tabular}{|c|l|l|l|l|}
\hline
& Cool &
\begin{tabular}{c}
Room \\
Temperature
\end{tabular} & \multicolumn{1}{c|}{Warm} & Total \\
\hline
Hatched & 5 & 16 & 21 & 42 \\
\hline
Unhatched & 18 & 10 & 4 & 32 \\
\hline
Total & 23 & 26 & 25 & 74 \\
\hline
\end{tabular}

Based on the information, which statement about the eggs is correct?
Given the egg has [tex]$\square$[/tex], the egg was kept warmer than room temperature.



Answer :

Let's go through the data provided in the table step by step.

The table is about the number of hatched and unhatched chicken eggs under three different temperature conditions: Cool, Room Temperature, and Warm.

### Step-by-Step Breakdown:

1. Total Hatched Eggs:
- Cool: 5
- Room Temperature: 16
- Warm: 21
- Total Hatched: [tex]\( 5 + 16 + 21 = 42 \)[/tex]

2. Total Unhatched Eggs:
- Cool: 18
- Room Temperature: 10
- Warm: 4
- Total Unhatched: [tex]\( 18 + 10 + 4 = 32 \)[/tex]

3. Total Eggs (Hatched and Unhatched Combined):
- Cool: 23
- Room Temperature: 26
- Warm: 25
- Total Eggs: [tex]\( 23 + 26 + 25 = 74 \)[/tex]

### Probability Calculation:
We are interested in the probability that a given egg was kept warmer than room temperature given that the egg has hatched.

1. Total Hatched Eggs (Already Calculated): 42

2. Number of Hatched Eggs kept Warmer than Room Temperature: 21

3. Probability that a given hatched egg was kept warmer than room temperature:
[tex]\[ \text{Probability} = \frac{\text{Number of Hatched Eggs kept warmer than Room Temperature}}{\text{Total Number of Hatched Eggs}} \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \text{Probability} = \frac{21}{42} = 0.5 \][/tex]

Given this result, we conclude:

Statement:
Given the egg has hatched, the egg was kept warmer than room temperature.

Thus, you should select "hatched" in the drop-down menu.
