hello

to solve this question, we need to know that 1 dozen contains 12 eggs

so, we can simply multiply our values by 12

average weight of a dozen eggs


\text{weight}=57*12=684g

standard deviation of a dozen eggs


S\mathrm{}D=5.1*12=61.2g

from the calculations above, the average weight of a dozen eggs is equal to 684g and the standard deviation of a dozen eggs is equal to 61.2g
