6. A potter makes decorative tiles in two colours, red and yellow. The length, \(R \mathrm {~cm}\), of the red tiles has a normal distribution with mean 15 cm and standard deviation 1.5 cm . The length, \(Y \mathrm {~cm}\), of the yellow tiles has the normal distribution \(\mathrm { N } \left( 12,0.8 ^ { 2 } \right)\). The random variables \(R\) and \(Y\) are independent. A red tile and a yellow tile are chosen at random.

1. Find the probability that the yellow tile is longer than the red tile. Taruni buys 3 red tiles and 1 yellow tile.
2. Find the probability that the total length of the 3 red tiles is less than 4 times the length of the yellow tile. Stefan defines the random variable \(X = a R + b Y\), where \(a\) and \(b\) are constants. He wants to use values of \(a\) and \(b\) such that \(X\) has a mean of 780 and minimum variance.
3. Find the value of \(a\) and the value of \(b\) that Stefan should use.
