The masses, in kilograms, of chemicals A and B produced per day by a factory are modelled by the independent random variables X and Y respectively, where X∼N(10.3,5.76) and Y∼N(11.4,9.61).
The income generated by the chemicals is $2.50 per kilogram for A and $3.25 per kilogram for B.
(a) Find the mean and variance of the daily income generated by chemical A.
(2)
(b) Find the probability that, on a randomly chosen day, the income generated by chemical A is greater than the income generated by chemical B.
