URGENT PLEASE!!! A homeowner has installed a new energy-efficient furnace. It is estimated that over a year the new furnace will reduce energy costs by an amount that can be regarded as a random variable with a mean of $265 and standard deviation of $55. Stating any assumptions you need to make, find the mean and standard deviation of the total energy costs reductions over a period of 5 years.

The U.S. Energy Information Administration claimed that U.S. residential customers used an average of 10,395 kilowatt hours (kWh) of electricity this year. A local power company believes that residents in their area use more electricity on average than EIA's reported average. To test their claim, the company chooses a random sample of 134 of their customers and calculates that these customers used an average of 10,866 kWh of electricity last year. Assuming that the population standard deviation is unknown.

New Homes A contractor has four new home plans. Plan 1 is a home with six windows. Plan 2 is a home with seven windows. Plan 3 has eight windows, and plan 4 has nine windows. The probability distribution for the sale of the homes is shown. Find the mean, variance, and standard deviation for the number of windows in the homes that the contractor builds. $$ \begin{array}{c|cccc}{X} & {6} & {7} & {8} & {9} \\ \hline P(X) & {0.3} & {0.4} & {0.25} & {0.05}\end{array} $$

The financial aid office at a state university conducts a study to determine the total student costs per semester. All students are charged $4500 for tuition. The mean cost for books is $350 with a standard deviation of $65. The mean outlay for room and board is $2800 with a standard deviation of $380. The mean personal expenditure is $675 with a standard deviation of $125. Assuming independence among categories, what is the standard deviation of the total student costs? A. $24 B. $91 C. $190 D. $405 E. $570
