Question: For the data in Problems I, compute the standard deviation of the equivalent annual cost per mile.

Problems I: For the data in Problem II calculate the expected value of the equivalent annual construction cost per mile.

Problem II: A road between Fairbanks and Nome, Alaska, will have a most likely construction cost of $4 million per mile. Doubling this cost is considered to have a probability of 30%, and cutting it by 25% is considered to have a probability of 10%. The state's interest rate is 8%, and the road should last 40 years. What is the probability distribution of the equivalent annual construction cost per mile?
