1. A group of day to day workers can work either 0 hours, eight hours or 12 hours at a pay rate of $9.75 per hour.  (The 12 hour day pays regular time for the first eight hours and double time for the remaining four hours.)  On any given day there is a 0.2 probability of not working at all, 0.7 probability of working an eight hour shift and a 0.1 probability of working a 12 hour shift.

a. What is the probability of working at least some of the time during a day?
b. What is the expected amount of work per day?
c. What is the variation in the expected amount of work per day?
