4 The masses, in grams, of large bags of sugar and small bags of sugar are denoted by \(X\) and \(Y\) respectively, where \(X \sim \mathrm {~N} \left( 5.1,0.2 ^ { 2 } \right)\) and \(Y \sim \mathrm {~N} \left( 2.5,0.1 ^ { 2 } \right)\). Find the probability that the mass of a randomly chosen large bag is less than twice the mass of a randomly chosen small bag.
