A hint to get started
Square the coefficient of a two-packet total and retain both tails
Fettuccine packet mass is normal with mean 450 g and standard deviation σg.10% weigh at most 437 g.
(i) Find σ. marks
Spaghetti packet masses follow . Thomas buys six spaghetti packets and two fettuccine packets.
(ii) Find the probability that the total spaghetti mass differs from twice the two-packet fettuccine total by at least 1250 g. marks
(iii) State an assumption needed in(ii). mark

CJC · Review problems · Question 11
The factor 2 multiplies the complete fettuccine total, so its variance is multiplied by 4.
