- Let y denote the number of broken eggs in a randomly selected carton of one dozen eggs. Suppose that the probability distribution of y is as follows. 23 4 y p(y) 0 1 0.61 0.21 0.11 0.05 ? (a) Only y values of 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 have positive probabilities. What is p(4)? (Hint: Consider the properties of a discrete probability distribution.) p(4) = (b) How would you interpret p(1) = 0.21? O In the long run, the proportion that will have at most one broken egg will equal 0.21. The proportion of eggs that will be broken in each carton from this population is 0.21. O In the long run, the proportion of cartons that have exactly one broken egg will equal 0.21. O The probability of one randomly chosen carton having broken eggs in it is 0.21. (c) Calculate P(y ≤ 2), the probability that the carton contains at most two broken eggs. P(y ≤ 2) = = Interpret this probability.
