38.  Three different roads feed into a particular freeway entrance. Suppose that during a xed time period, the number of cars coming from each road onto the freeway is a random variable, with expected value and standard deviation as given in the table.

Â
a.   What is the expected total number of cars enter- ing the freeway at this point during the period? (Hint: Let Xi = the number from road i.)
Â
b.  What is the variance of the total number of en-
Â
tering cars? Have you made any assumptions about the relationship between the numbers of cars on the different roads?
Â
c.   With Xi denoting the number of cars entering from road i during the period, suppose that Cov(X1, X2) = 80, Cov(X1, X3) = 90, and Cov (X2, X3) = 100 (so that the three streams of traf c are not independent). Compute the expected to- tal number of entering cars and the standard deviation of the total.
