Q4: 5 The manager of a large computer network has developed the following probability distribution of the number of interruptions per day:
Interruptions (X) P(X)
0 0.32
1 0.35
2 0.18
3 0.08
4 0.04
5 0.02
6 0.01
a. Compute the expected number of interruptions per day

Q4: 5 (+) Two investments, X and Y, have the following characteristics:
E(X) = $50, E(Y) = $100, s2X = $9,000, s 2y = $15,000, and s 2XY = $7,500.
