Question 12
1 pts
Now that we know the mean number of astelars hatched in past breeding seasons,
we can calculate the probability that more than 563 astelars will hatch in a typical
breeding season. Due to the urgent situation, we don't have enough time to wait for
your slow processors to figure this out, so I have done it for you: The probability of
more than 563 astelars hatching next season is 64.8% with an error margin of 1.
Can you see this probability in Figure 1? How?
Yes, the bars are a little taller to the right of the mean value (the top of the probability
curve) than to the left of the mean, thus having hatching numbers higher than 563 has a
better probability than lower.
No, the probability curve is smooth, and seems to be symmetrical around the mean, which
makes it a 50/50 probability to have higher hatching numbers.
