When Jan comes home, the fridge is ransacked. Among other things, Shtutzy ate 5 eggs out of the dozen.

(a) What is the probability that Shtutzy ate the two rotten eggs?
(b) Shtutuzy is known to have a "stomach of steel". If she eats one rotten egg, she will be sick with probability 0.2. If she eats two rotten eggs, she will be sick with probability 0.5. If she does not eat any rotten egg. She will still be sick with probabilIty 0.01 from eating too much. What is the chance that Shtutzy will be sick?
