The number of losses experiences has P(N=0)=0.4, P(N=1)=0.3, P(N=2)=0.2, P(N=3)=0.1. Individual losses are independent and follow an exponential distribution with mean 4. Let S be the sum of the losses. Find the mean and variance of S.

If x is a binomial random variable, compute the mean, the standard deviation, and the variance for each of the following cases: n = 4, P = 0.4 n = 5, P = 0.6 n = 5, P = 0.1 n = 3, P = 0.3
