Linear combinations of random variables — practice question
The juice volumes, measured in litres, for large bottles and small bottles have distributions $N(5.10, 0.0102)$ and $N(2.51, 0.0036)$ respectively.
(a)[5]
Find the probability that the total juice volume in $3$ randomly selected large bottles and $4$ randomly selected small bottles is less than $25.5$ litres.
(b)[5]
Find the probability that a randomly chosen large bottle has a volume of juice at least twice that of a randomly chosen small bottle.
