1 The performance of a piece of music is being recorded. The piece consists of three sections, \(A , B\) and \(C\). The times, in seconds, taken to perform the three sections are normally distributed random variables with the following means and standard deviations.
| Section | Mean | Standard deviation |
| \(A\) | 264 | 13 |
| \(B\) | 173 | 9 |
| \(C\) | 264 | 13 |
- Assume first that the times for the three sections are independent. Find the probability that the total length of the performance is greater than 720.0 seconds.
- In fact sections \(A\) and \(C\) are musically identical, and the recording is made by using a single performance of section \(A\) twice, together with a performance of section \(B\). In this case find the probability that the total length of the performance is greater than 720.0 seconds.
