Answer:

X+Y \sim N(\mu_X +\mu_Y , \sqrt{\sigma^2_X +\sigma^2_Y})

The mean is given by:

\mu = 3.8+2.9= 6.7

And the standard deviation would be:

\sigma =\sqrt{1.2^2 + 1.7^2} = 2.08

And the distribution for X+Y would be:

X+Y \sim N(6.7 , 2.08)

And the best answer would be:

D.) Mean, 6.7; standard deviation, 2.08

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X the random variable who represent the AP Art History exam we know that the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(3.8, 1.2)

Let Y the random variable who represent the AP English exam we know that the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(2.9, 1.7)

We want to find the distribution for X+Y. Assuming independence between the two distributions we have:

X+Y \sim N(\mu_X +\mu_Y , \sqrt{\sigma^2_X +\sigma^2_Y})

The mean is given by:

\mu = 3.8+2.9= 6.7

And the standard deviation would be:

\sigma =\sqrt{1.2^2 + 1.7^2} = 2.08

And the distribution for X+Y would be:

X+Y \sim N(6.7 , 2.08)

And the best answer would be:

D.) Mean, 6.7; standard deviation, 2.08
