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.

6m + 2 - 4m =<br><br><br>help with this please ​
devlian [24]

The answer is: 2(m+1)


First combine like terms.
<em>we do 6m-4m which is 2m</em>
2m+2=?

Second we factor. We notice that both terms have 2.
2(m+1)

<em>by distributive law, the 2 is distributed to m and 1.
