6 The Basic Rules ofProbability This chapter summarizes the rules you have been using for adding andmultiplying probabilities, and for using conditional probability. It also gives apictorial way to understand the rules.
To hard-cook duck eggs, place them in a pot, cover them with cold water, and bring to a boil over high heat.As soon as the water boils, remove the pot from the heat and let stand 12 minutes for large eggs.(Medium eggs should sit a minute less, jumbos a minute more.) Drain the eggs and shake the pan vigorously to crack the shells; this lets them cool faster and prevents overcooking.o hard-cook duck eggs, place them in a pot, cover them with cold water, and bring to a boil over high heat.
For a hard-boiled egg, start the egg in cold water and bring up to the boil. Once the water is gently boiling, set the timer for between 7-10 minutes depending on how well cooked you like your eggs. The longer you boil the egg, the firmer it will be.Once cooked, plunge the hard-boiled egg into plenty of cold water for one minute.lways start with eggs that are at room temperature to best predict the cooking time and minimise cracking. For a soft-boiled egg, lower the egg into gently boiling water with a slotted spoon. Allow three and a half minutes for a medium-sized egg and four minutes for a large egg.
