Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a grocery supplier believes that the mean number of broken eggs per dozen is 0.8 with a standard deviation of 0.6.

Here we assume the cartons of eggs are independent

a) Mean value of eggs in 8 dozens = 8 Expected value in 1 dozen

= 8(0,8) = 6.4

b) Var (8x) (Here 8 dozens)

= 64 var(x)  (assuming independent)

Otherwise we have Var(x1+x2+x3+...)=sum of var of xis + cov (xi,xj)

Thus we have to assume independent to avoid covariance

So Var(8x)=64 Var(x)

STd dev for 8 dozens = 8(0,6) = 4.8

c) To avoid covariance i.e. variance among pairs of dozens we assume independence.

How do you change 0.16666 in a fraction
Natasha_Volkova [10]
Here's how to convert 0.16666 to a fraction...

There is not much that can be done to figure out how to write 0.16666 as a fraction, except to literally use what the decimal portion of your number, the .16666, means.

Since there are 5 digits in 16666, the very last digit is the "100000th" decimal place.

So we can just say that .16666 is the same as 16666/100000.

The fraction 16666/100000 is not reduced to lowest terms. We can reduce this fraction to lowest
terms by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 2.

Why divide by 2? 2 is the Greatest Common Divisor (GCD)
or Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of the numbers 16666 and 100000.
So, this fraction reduced to lowest terms is 8333/50000

So your final answer is: 0.16666 can be written as the fraction 8333/50000
