Chapter 2, Problem 2.5QPP

A certain column will carry a dead load estimated to be 400 k with a COV of 0.1 and a live load of 200 k with a COV of 0.25. What is the mean and standard deviation of the total column load? Assuming the load is normally distributed, what is the probability that this load will exceed 750 k?
