Storm damage can occur to homes in any given year, with the amount of damage varying randomly from year to year. Let X represent the dollar value of storm damage in a given year. It is known that in 95% of the years, X = $0, while in 5% of the years, X = $20,000. What is the expected value and standard deviation of the damage in any given year?
