Description

 

Consider the following probability distribution for y = the number of broken eggs in a carton:

y         0            1            2           3           4    

p(y)     0.65    0.20       0.10         0.04      0.01

a. Calculate and interpret µy.

b. In the long run, for what percentage of cartons is the number of broken eggs less than µy? Does this surprise you?

c. Why doesn’t  Explain. µy=(0+1+2+3+4)/5=2.0?
