A person is choosing between two countries to live in based on the average annual temperature (in degrees Celsius). The random variables \(X\) and \(Y\) represent the temperature for Country A and Country B, respectively, with:
  • Expected temperature: \(E(X) = 18.5\) for Country A and \(E(Y) = 25.0\) for Country B
  • Standard deviation: \(\sigma(X) = 3.2\) for Country A and \(\sigma(Y) = 8.5\) for Country B
The person wants to maximize warmth regardless of temperature variability. Which country should they choose, and why? Justify your answer based on the given expected temperatures and standard deviations.
