A computer repair shop has two work centers. The first center examines the computer to see what is wrong, and the second center repairs the computer. Letx1andx2be random variables representing the lengths of time in minutes to examine a computer (x1) and to repair a computer (x2). Assumex1andx2are independent random variables. Long-term history has shown the following times.

Examine computer,x1:????1=30.0minutes;????1=7.0minutesRepair computer,x2:????2=89.5minutes;????2=15.3minutes

a. Suppose it costs $1.50 per minute to examine the computer and $2.75 per minute to repair the computer. ThenW= 1.50x1+ 2.75x2is a random variable representing the service charges (without parts). Compute the mean, variance, and standard deviation ofW(in minutes). (Round your answers to two decimal places.)
