Question 526308: The weight of a medium size orange selected at random from a large bin of oranges at the local supermarket is a random variable with mean m = 12 ounces and standard deviation s = 1.2 ounces. Suppose we independently pick two oranges at random from the bin. The expected value of the sum of the weights of the two oranges, in pounds (1 pound = 16 ounces) is:

The weight of a medium size orange selected at random from a large bin of oranges at the local supermarket is a random variable with mean m = 12 ounces and standard deviation s = 1.2 ounces. Suppose we independently pick two oranges at random from the bin. The expected value of the sum of the weights of the two oranges, in pounds (1 pound = 16 ounces) is: 2*12 = 24 ounces
