Question:
Exercise 26 introduced random variables X and Y, the number of cars and buses, respectively, carried by a ferry on a single trip. The joint pmf of X and Y is given in the table in Exercise 7. It is readily verified that X and Y are independent.
a. Compute the expected value, variance, and standard deviation of the total number of vehicles on a single trip.
b. If each car is charged $3 and each bus $10, compute the expected value, variance, and standard deviation of the revenue resulting from a single trip.
