A hint to get started
Recover a component normal distribution from a sum of two observations
.
(i) Given , show that σ=8 to the nearest whole number, and find k. marks
, where are independent observations of a normal variable Y. W is independent of Y and has normal mean 25 and variance 16.
(ii) Using σ=8, find and , then . marks
