For this problem, in part a, to begin, we will want to figure out the expected amount of cereal used, which is going to be equal to the sum of the mean amount of cereal that can fit into the small bowl plus the mean amount of cereal that can fit in a large bowl.
00:21
So we have the mean amount in a small bowl is 1 .4 ounces.
00:26
The mean amount in a large bowl is 2 .4 ounces.
00:30
So we have that the expected amount of cereal used is going to be 3 .8 ounces.
00:35
Then the expected amount of cereal left is going to be equal to the expected amount of cereal in the box, 16 .2 ounces, minus the expected amount of cereal used, 3 .8.
00:51
So calculating that out, 16 .2 minus 3 .8 gives a result of 12 .4.

Then, moving on to part b, for finding the standard deviation of...
01:03
Let's see here.
01:05
So...
01:06
One moment here.
01:07
Assuming that's standard deviation of cereal left in the box, so we have that the variance...
01:17
Since we have that each one of these values is going to be independent, we can find the variance overall by adding together the variances of each one of the values...
