Solution

The mean of T, μT, is the sum of the means of X and Y. So, μT = μX + μY = 25 + 35 = 60.

Assuming that shoppers enter the store through the two doors independently, the variance of T, σT^2, is the sum of the variances of X and Y. The standard deviation, σT, is the square root of this sum. So, σT = sqrt(σX^2 + σY^2) = sqrt(5^2 + 8^2) = sqrt(25 + 64) = sqrt(89).
