5. A child is playing with a set of red and blue wooden cubes. The side length of the red cubes is normally distributed with a mean of 14.5 cm and a variance of \(16.0 \mathrm {~cm} ^ { 2 }\). The side length of the blue cubes is normally distributed with a mean of 12.2 cm and a variance of \(9.0 \mathrm {~cm} ^ { 2 }\).
- Find the probability that a randomly chosen red cube will have a side length of more than 3 cm greater than a randomly chosen blue cube.
The child makes two towers, one from 4 red cubes and one from 5 blue cubes. Assuming that the cubes for each colour of tower were chosen at random,
- find the probability that the red tower is taller than the blue tower.
- Explain why the assumption that the cubes for each tower were chosen at random is unlikely to be realistic.
