Stats II Question ? [Prev. Q.] [Next Q.] [Prev. Chap.] [Next Chap.] [goto]

Let X be a random variable for which P[X = 40] = 1/6 & P[X = -50] = 1/6 and Y be a random variable for which P[Y = 5] = 244/495 & P[Y = -5] = 251/495 and let Z = 3X - Y + 10 assuming X & Y are independent, the E(Z) & Var(Z) are closest to. E(Z) = -5, Var(Z) = 3167 E(Z) = 5, Var(Z) = 6150 E(Z) = 5, Var(Z) = 3100 E(Z) = -5, Var(Z) = 6110 E(Z) = 5, Var(Z) = 1067
