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.

What is the geometric mean of 4 and 10
GalinKa [24]

Answer: 6.3

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for geometric mean is given as :

G.m = \sqrt{pq}

Therefore , the geometric mean between 4 and 10 will be :

G.m = \sqrt{4(10)}

      = \sqrt{40}

      = 2\sqrt{10}

     = 6.3

chantal volunteered to bring 1 gallon of freshly squeezed orange juice to a picnic.the local grocery store sells 4-pound bags of
pochemuha
(128 oz) * (2 oranges)/(5 oz) * (1 bag)/(11.5 oranges) * $3.49/bag ≈ $15.54

Note that we have assumed 11.5 oranges per bag, and that partial bags are available.

If Chantal must buy whole bags of oranges, 5 bags will be needed and the cost will be $17.45.
