Question
Determine the expected value and variance of X for the high-amplitude waves acting on a sea pier. The pmf is given below: 1 2 3 4 5 0.05 27 Px(x) 0.38 0.22 0.18 0.13 0.08 0.02 0.01 Problem 4. Use data given in Problem 1, a contractor is assigned to work on an extension to the sea pier. The contractor finds that the profits Y of the job are directly decreased by the number of days per month X of high-amplitude waves acting on the sea front. It is estimated that Y = 10000(10 - X). Determine the pmf of Y and the mean and variance of Y.
