Farmers' market. A farmer has 100 lbs of apples and 50 lbs of potatoes for sale. The market price for apples (per pound) each day is a random variable with a mean of 0.5 dollars and a standard deviation of 0.2 dollars. Similarly, for a pound of potatoes, the mean price is 0.3 dollars and the standard deviation is 0.1 dollars. It also costs him 2 dollars to bring all the apples and potatoes to the market. The market is busy with eager shoppers, so wecan assume that he'll be able to sell all of each type of produce at that day's price.

a) Define your random variables, and use them to express the farmer's net income.

b) Find the mean of the net income.

c) Find the standard deviation of the net income.

d) Do you need to make any assumptions in calculating the mean? How about the standard deviation?
