Problem 1 An inept statistics professor has a home repair project. With probability 10%, he can buy the necessary equipment at a hardware store and install it properly. This would cost $5. With probability 60%, he won't be able to fix it himself and will have to call a licensed professional. This would cost $205. With probability 30%, attempting to fix it himself will only cause additional damage. This would cost $605. Let X be the amount of money that the project costs. Find E(X) and SD(X).
