Define Computing Probabilities Involving Normal Random Variables?
A consumer organization inspecting new cars found that many had appearance defects (such as dents, scratches, or paint chips). While none of the new cars had more than three of these defects, 7% had exactly three, 11% had exactly two, and 21% had exactly one such defect. If we randomly select a new car and let X = the number of appearance defects on the selected car, then what are the expected value and standard deviation of X?

1. How do you determine the values of a random variable? 2. How do you know whether a random variable is continuous or discrete? What is the difference between the two types of random variables?
I asked this question before, and got an answer, but I have a question about the response that was given. The original question was: For an initial investment of 100, an investment yields returns of X1 and X2, where X1 and X2 are independent normal random variables with mean 60 and variance 25. What is the probability that the rate of return of this investment is greater than 10%? In the answer that was given it says that the gain of the investment is X1+X2. My question is why can we just group those together as one amount? I was given a formula in my class that says the return on the investment would be the solution to the equation: -100+ X1/(1+r) + X2/(1+r)2=0. If this formula is used, a different solution would result for this problem.
