Question 1 In considering medical insurance for a certain operation, let X equal the amount (in dollars) paid for the doctor and let Y equal the amount paid to the hospital. In the past, the variances have been Var(X) = 8,000, Var(Y) = 10,000, and Var(X + Y) = 20,000. Due to increased expenses, it was decided to increase the doctor's fee by $500 and increase the hospital charge Y by 10%. Calculate the variance of X + 500+ (1.1)Y, the new total claim. (Hint: Note it is not mentioned if X and Y are independent or not).
