Let X₁, X2,..., be a sequence of independent and identically distributed random variables, each with a mean value x and variance ok, both of which are assumed to be finite. Let N be a discrete random variable independent of X₁, X2,..., and assuming values in the set {0, 1, 2, ...}, with mean value N and variance ok (both are finite). Form the random-compound sum Y=1 Xk, with the convention Y = 0 whenever N = 0. Find the expressions for the mean and variance of Y in terms of ux, o, μN and o.

An ordinary (fair) coin is tossed 3 times. Outcomes are thus triples of "heads" (h) and "tails" (t) which we write hth, ttt, etc. For each outcome, let N be the random variable counting the number of heads in each outcome.
