The number of people in a car that crosses a certain bridge is represented by the random variable x, which has a mean value μx = 2.7, and a variance σ2x = 1.2. the toll on the bridge is $3.00 per car plus $ .50 per person in the car. determine the mean and variance of the total amount of money that is collected from a car that crosses the bridge.

be the total amount of money paid by any given set of passengers. If there are 
passengers in a car, then the driver must pay a toll of
