ou have chosen three breeds of chicken for your farm after studying their egg-laying capabilities. Of the total of 50 chickens, 10 will be White Leghorns, 30 will be Goldlines, and 10 will be Rhode Island Reds. The Goldlines and the Rhode Island Reds lay brown eggs, and the White Leghorns lay white eggs. You also have this data on the average number of eggs laid per year by each breed: White Leghorn: 300 eggs per year Goldline: 320 eggs per year Rhode Island Red: 220 eggs per year If you pick a chicken at random, what is the probability of picking a chicken of each breed? What is that chicken's average yearly egg yield?
