There is a rebellious group of Parisians who know how to travel by tube with minimal expenses. Instead of paying 1.9 Euro per ride (or around 53 Eur for a pass), they contribute 5-7 Eur a month to a joint fund, which covers their fines they need to pay if they are caught free riding. And RATP transport authorities estimated their losses to be approximately at around 80m Eur a year. What is known is that there are only 968 inspectors, and the tube users are checked only once every 6 weeks. You are thinking about how profitable it is to do what the Parisian group is doing and what are the chances of being caught. Define the random variable.

On February 23, 2011 Matthew Wald blogged in The New York Times that, “a car buyer who lays out an extra $6,200 to buy the hybrid version of the Lexus RX will get the money back in gas savings within five years, according to Consumer Reports magazine, but only if gasoline averages $8.77 a gallon. Otherwise, the nonhybrid RX 350 is a better buy than the Hybrid 450h, the magazine says.”Wald notices that the study assumes:▪ The car will be driven 12,000 miles a year.▪ Gas will cost $2.80 a gallon.▪ The hybrid gets 26 miles per gallon while the nonhybrid gets 21.(a) Show that the computation is wrong—that at $8.77 per gallon of gas you can’t save $6,200 in 60,000 miles of driving.(b) Show that you can save that much with that much driving if gas costs $8.77 per gallon more than $2.80 per gallon.
