(c) The price of a 14 oz cup of coffee in Sunshine cafés is a random variable C
with an expected value of $3.00 and a standard deviation of $1. At any given
shop, the price doesn't vary, but it varies independently across shops. Tomorrow
morning, you plan to buy two 14 oz cups of coffee from the same shop while your
friend plans on buying two from two different shops.
(i) How much do you expect to spend on coffee tomorrow and with what standard
deviation?
(ii) How much do you expect your friend to spend and with what standard
deviation?
(iii) Who do you think has a better idea and why?
You may need to use the appropriate appendix table to answer this question.
