3 The lengths, in centimetres, of two types of insect, \(A\) and \(B\), are modelled by the random variables \(X \sim \mathrm {~N} ( 6.2,0.36 )\) and \(Y \sim \mathrm {~N} ( 2.4,0.25 )\) respectively. Find the probability that the length of a randomly chosen type \(A\) insect is greater than the sum of the lengths of 3 randomly chosen type \(B\) insects.
