Question
Suppose your waiting time for a bus in the morning is uniformly distributed on [0, 10], whereas waiting time in the evening is uniformly distributed on [0, 12] independent of morning waiting time.
 
(a)If you take the bus each morning and evening for a week, what is your total expected waiting time? (Assume a week includes only Monday through Friday.) [Hint: Define rv's X1,... , X10 and use a rule of expected value.]
Total Time=      min
 
(b) What is the variance of your total waiting time? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
Variance of Wait Time=   min2
 
(c) What are the expected value and variance of the difference between morning and evening waiting times on a given day? (Use morning time − evening time. Round the variance to two decimal places.)
expected value =    min
variance=     min2
 
(d) What are the expected value and variance of the difference between total morning waiting time and total evening waiting time for a particular week? (Use morning time − evening time. Assume a week includes only Monday through Friday.)
expected value =    min
variance=    min2
