An certain brand of upright freezer is available in three different rated capacities: 16 ft ³, 18 ft³, and 20 ft³. Let X = the rated capacity of a freezer of this brand sold at a certain store. Suppose that X has the following pmf. X p(x) 16 18 20 0.4 0.1 0.5 (a) Compute E(X), E(X²), and V(X). = E(X) = E(X2) = V(X) = ft³ (b) If the price of a freezer having capacity X is 66X - 650, what is the expected price paid by the next customer to buy a freezer? $ (c) What is the variance of the price paid by the next customer? (d) Suppose that although the rated capacity of a freezer is X, the actual capacity is h(x) = X - 0.009X². What is the expected actual capacity of the freezer purchased by the next customer? (Enter your answer to four decimal places.) ft³

The population of mosquitoes in a certain area increases at a rate proportional to the current population, and in the absence of other factors, the population doubles each week. There are 400,000 mosquitoes in the area initially, and predators (birds, bats, and so forth) eat 50,000 mosquitoes/day. Determine the population of mosquitoes in the area at any time. (Note that the variable t represents days.)
