An airline is charged by an airport based upon the total taxi-time that an airplane spends to take off and land. Suppose taxi time, a, at airport A is normally distributed with mean of 27 minutes standard deviation 8 minutes; taxi time, b, at airport B is normally distributed with mean of 39 minutes and standard deviation 12 minutes; taxi time, c, at airport C is normally distributed with of 41 minutes and standard deviation 10 minutes. JJ Airlines has a plane flying to airport A, airport B, and airport C on Sunday. Airport A charges $131 per minute of taxi time; airport B charges per minute of taxi time; airport c charges $200 per minute of taxi time. Let X = total amount of taxi time in minutes for the JJ plane. Let W = total taxi charges for the JJ plane. X is defined as b + c. W = 131a + 150b + 200c. Note that a, b, and c are independent of one another. a) Calculate the expected value of X. b) Calculate the standard deviation of X. c) Calculate the expected value of W.
