Let's define both terms first. Inductive reasoning is a conclusion that you get out of a series of observation. However, this may be true or not. But for deductive reasoning, you reach a conclusion that you get out of a series of observations that are also supported by facts. These are all true.

Since all the statements are based on facts, this is a deductive reasoning.

The answer is B. deductive.

Each morning, Hungry Harry eats some eggs. On any given morning, the number of eggs he eats is equally likely to be 1, 2, 3, 4,

Answer:

Mean = 35

Variance = 291.7

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

X : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

All the data are independent

Thus,

The mean for this case will be given as:

Mean, E[X] = $\frac{\textup{Sum of all the observations}}{\textup{Total number of observations}}$

E[X] = $\frac{\textup{1+2+3+4+5+6}}{\textup{6}}$

E[X] = 3.5

For 10 days, Mean = 3.5 × 10 = 35

And,

variance = E[X²] - ( E[X] )²

Now, for this case of independent value,

E[X²] = $\frac{1^2+2^2+3^2+4^2+5^2+6^2}{\textup{6}}$

E[X²] = $\frac{1+4+9+16+25+36}{\textup{6}}$

E[X²] = $\frac{91}{\textup{6}}$

E[X²] = 15.167

Therefore,

variance = E[X²] - ( E[X] )²

variance = 15.167 - 3.5²

Variance = 2.917

For 10 days = Variance × Days²

= 2.917 × 10²

= 291.7
