At a grocery store eggs come in cartons that hold a dozen eggs. Experience indicated that 66.5% of the cartons have no broken eggs, 27.2% have one broken egg, 6.1& have 2 broken eggs, and 0.2% have 3 broken eggs, and the percentage of cartons with 4 or more broken eggs is negligible.

Using baye's rule or law of total probability:

1. an egg is selected at random from a carton. what is the probability that the egg is broken?

2. an egg selected at random from a carton is found to be broken, what is the probability that it came from a carton with to broken eggs?

8. Suppose 22% of the eggs sold at a local grocery store that are graded “large” are smaller than that and should be graded “medium.” A random sample of 15 eggs graded large is obtained. Answer the following using the binomial distribution:(Round to 4 (FOUR) decimal places.) What is the probability that 8 or more of the “large” eggs sampled are really medium-sized? What is the probability fewer than 3 of the “large” eggs sampled are really medium-sized? What is...
