If you take the bus each morning and evening for a week, what is your total expected waiting time? [Hint: Define rvs X1, . . . , X10 and use a rule of expected value.] b. What is the variance of your total waiting time? c. What are the expected value and variance of the difference between morning and evening waiting times on a given day? d.
