a. Find \(\mu_{X}\).

b. Find \(\sigma_{X}^{2}\).

c. Let \(Y\) denote the thickness of a shim in inches ( \(1 \mathrm{~mm}=0.0394\) inches). Find \(\mu_{Y}\) and \(\sigma_{Y}^{2}\).

d. If three shims are selected independently and stacked one atop another, find the mean and variance of the total thickness.
