3. (10 points) Thickness measurements of a coating process are made to the nearest hun- dredth of a millimeter. Let X be a random variable representing the thickness measure- ments. X can take values 0.15, 0.16, 0.17, 0.18, and 0.19, and the outcomes are equally likely (i.e., P(X = x;) = 1/5 for i = 1...5). Determine E(X) and E(X2). Use these results to find E[(3X – 5)2] and Var(2.5X – 10).
