The following table shows daily minimum and maximum temperatures for 10 days. Minimum developmental threshold for the insect is 10 degrees while maximum developmental threshold is 40 degrees. If an insect is in the pupal stage and has a thermal constant of 75 degree days to emerge as an adult, predict the day at which the insect will emerge as adult.
