A classroom monitors chicken eggs in various temperatures. The table shows the class's recorded results.

\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|c|c|}
\hline & Cool & \begin{tabular}{l}
Room \\
Temperature
\end{tabular} & 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][tex]$\square$[/tex][/tex], the egg was kept warmer than room temperature.



Answer :

Let's analyze the given table and information step-by-step to determine the correct conclusion.

The table provides the following data:

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

First, we should identify the key given condition: "Given the egg has [tex]$\square$[/tex]."
According to the results:

1. Total number of hatched eggs = 42.
2. The number of hatched eggs under warm conditions = 21.
3. The number of hatched eggs under room temperature = 16.
4. The number of hatched eggs in cool conditions = 5.

The statement we need to complete is: "Given the egg has ________, the egg was kept warmer than room temperature."

Given the egg has _hatched_, the egg has an increased likelihood of being in warm conditions compared to room temperature or cool conditions.

Thus, by interpreting the entire set of data, we ensure that the correct statement should be:

[tex]\[ \text{Given the egg has } \boxed{\text{hatched}}, \text{ the egg was kept warmer than room temperature.} \][/tex]
