Solution

To compute the mean of Y, we need to know the mean of X, denoted as ฮผX.

The mean of Y can be computed using the formula for the mean of a linear transformation of a random variable, which is:

ฮผY = a + b * ฮผX

where:

  • a is the constant added to X (in this case, 2)
  • b is the constant that X is multiplied by (in this case, 7)
  • ฮผX is the mean of X

So, if you know the mean of X, you can substitute it into this formula to find the mean of Y.
