In Pawnee, Indiana, the price of a pound of bacon, X, varies from day to day according to a normal distribution with mean of $4.12 and a standard deviation of $0.16. The price of a dozen eggs, Y , also varies from day to day according to a normal distribution with a mean of $1.94 and a standard deviation $0.06. Assume the prices of a pound of bacon and a dozen eggs are independent.
