The manager of a stockroom in a factory knows from her study of record that x, the daily  demand ( number of times used per day) for a certain tool, has the following probability distributions:

Demand 

2

Probability

0.2

0.6 

0.5

That is, 50% of the daily records show that the total was used one time.

1. Find the  expected daily demand for the tool and the variance.

2. Suppose it cost P150 each time the tool is used. Find the mean and  variance of the daily costs for use of this tool.
