Combination of Random Variables: Golf Norb and Gary are entered in a local golf tournament. Both have played the local course many times. Their scores are random variables with the following means and standard deviations.
Norb, x1 : m1 = 115; s1 = 12Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Gary, x2 : m2 = 100; s2 = 8
In the tournament, Norb and Gary are not playing together, and we will assume their scores vary independently of each other.
(a)Â Â Â Â The difference between their scores is W = x1 - x2. Compute the mean, variance, and standard deviation for the random variable W.
Â
Â
(b)Â Â Â The average of their scores is W = 0.5x1 + 0.5x2. Compute the mean, vari- ance, and standard deviation for the random variable W.
(c)Â Â Â Â The tournament rules have a special handicap system for each player. For Norb, the handicap formula is L = 0.8x1 - 2. Compute the mean, variance, and standard deviation for the random variable L.
(d)Â Â Â For Gary, the handicap formula is L = 0.95x2 - 5. Compute the mean, variance, and standard deviation for the random variable L.
