Let y denote the number of broken eggs in a randomly selected carton of one dozen \"store brand\" eggs at a certain market. Suppose that the probability distribution of y is as follows.

What is the probability that the carton contains exactly 10 unbroken eggs? (Hint: What is the corresponding value of y?)

What is the probability that at least 10 eggs are unbroken?

Solution

cartoon has 10 unbroken eggs implies 2 broken eggs

P(y=2) = 0.11

so , probablity that contains exactly 10 unbroken eggs is 0.11

b)

probability that atlest 10 eggs are unbroken

=>

P(y < =2) = P(y=0) + P(y=1) + P(y=2)

= 0.64 + 0.19 + 0.11

= 0.94
