The mean incubation time of fertilized eggs is 19 days. Suppose the incubation times are approximately normally distributed with a standard deviation of 1 day. Determine the 10th percentile for incubation times. Click the icon to view a table of areas under the normal curve. The 10th percentile for incubation times is days. (Round to the nearest whole number as needed.)

I do not entirely understand what it means to find the s-score for an area of 0.1 (for the 10th percentile). I know I need to look at the z-score table but I always seem to get the answer wrong- please help.
Thank you
Definition Definition Measure of central tendency that is the average of a given data set. The mean value is evaluated as the quotient of the sum of all observations by the sample size. The mean, in contrast to a median, is affected by extreme values. Very large or very small values can distract the mean from the center of the data. Arithmetic mean: The most common type of mean is the arithmetic mean. It is evaluated using the formula: μ = 1 N ∑ i = 1 N x i Other types of means are the geometric mean, logarithmic mean, and harmonic mean. Geometric mean: The nth root of the product of n observations from a data set is defined as the geometric mean of the set: G = x 1 x 2 ... x n n Logarithmic mean: The difference of the natural logarithms of the two numbers, divided by the difference between the numbers is the logarithmic mean of the two numbers. The logarithmic mean is used particularly in heat transfer and mass transfer. ln x 2 − ln x 1 x 2 − x 1 Harmonic mean: The inverse of the arithmetic mean of the inverses of all the numbers in a data set is the harmonic mean of the data. 1 1 x 1 + 1 x 2 + ...
