4 Ifrandom variables are normally distributed so are the sums, differences and other linear combinations of them. —
5. if X and Y have independent Poisson distributions, then X + Y has a Poisson distribution. -
[Note that a linear combination of independent Poisson variables of the form aX + bY (where a and b take values
other than 1) cannot have a Poisson distribution since in that case the mean (ay. + bay) is not equal tothe

— Sugar and flour for making cakes are measured in cups. The mass, in grams, of one cup of sugar has
__ the distribution N(250, 10). The mass, in grams, of one cup of flour has the independent distribution
N(160, 9). Each cake contains 2 cups of sugar and 5 cups of flour. Find the probability that the total
mass of sugar and flour in one cake exceeds 1310 grams. 5]

__ The numbers of barrels of oil, in millions, extracted per day in two oil fields A and B are modelled by
the independent random variables X and Y respectively, where X ~N(3.2, 0.4) and ¥ ~ N(4.3, 0.67).
~ The income generated by the oil from the two fields is $90 per barrel for A and $95 per barrel for B.
(@ Find the mean and variance of the daily income, in millions of dollars, generated by field A. [3]
Gi) Find the probability that the total income produced by the two fields in a day is at least
