The Attempt at a Solution


I got Part A.
For part A, this is what I did:

I did Egg A: X ~ (6,(1/6)) P(X = 1) and did something similar for Egg B. I then multiplied both to get the answer for Part A.

For Part B, I'm a bit confused. I tried doing cases. As in:
(broken eggs): AA , BB , AB (same as BA)
Then I did:
AA: X ~ (6,(1/6)) P(X = 2)
BB: Y ~ (6,(1/10)) P(X = 2)
AB: X ~ (6,(1/6)) P(X = 2) * Y ~ (6,(1/10)) P(X = 2)

My work:

And then, I tried multiplying and adding the three values. But I didn't get the correct answer.

Could someone help me out please? Thanks
