Sea pier construction. With reference to the data given in above,acontractor
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 = 10,000(10 – X).
Determine the pmf of Y and the mean and variance of Y.
