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.

Problem 1: Given the following probabilities P(Ac) = 0.45, P(B) = 0.34, and P(B|A) = 0.23. Find the following probabilities:
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

P(A)=0.55

P(A and B)=P(A∩B)=0.1265

P(A or B)=P(A∪B)=0.7635

P(A|B)=0.3721

Step-by-step explanation:

P(A')=0.45

P(A)=1-0.45=0.55

P(B∩A)=?

P(B|A)=0.23

P(B|A)=(P(A∩B))/P(A)

0.23=(P(A∩B))/0.55

P(A∩B)=0.23×0.55=0.1265

P(A∪B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A∩B)

=0.55+0.34-0.1265

=0.7635

P(A|B)=[P(A∩B)]/P(B)=0.1265/0.34 ≈0.3721
