Question
Consider a small ferry that can accommodate cars and buses. The toll for cars is $3, and the toll for buses is $10. Let X and Y denote the number of cars and buses, respectively, carried on a single trip. The joint pmf of X and Y is given in the table below. *Note that it's 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. (Round your standard deviation to two decimal places.)
 
(b) If each car is charged $3 and each bus $10, compute the expected value (in $), variance, and standard deviation (in $) of the revenue resulting from a single trip. (Round your standard deviation to two decimal places.)
