A big department store has two entrance doors, one on 5th Ave. and the other on 6th Ave. The number of shoppers who enter the store through the 5th Ave. door in an hour, X, has mean of μX=25\displaystyle \mu_{{X}}={25} and standard deviation σX=5\displaystyle \sigma_{{X}}={5}, and the number of shoppers who enter the store through the 6th Ave. door in an hour, Y, has a mean of μY=35\displaystyle \mu_{{Y}}={35} nd standard deviation of σY=8.\displaystyle \sigma_{{Y}}={8}. Let the random variable T be the total number of shoppers who enter the store in an hour.

  1. What is μT,\displaystyle \mu_{{T}}, the mean of T?




  2. Assuming that shoppers enter the store through the two doors independently, what is σT\displaystyle \sigma_{{T}}, the standard deviation of T?
