1 The masses, in grams, of potatoes of types \(A\) and \(B\) have the distributions \(\mathrm { N } \left( 175,60 ^ { 2 } \right)\) and \(\mathrm { N } \left( 105,28 ^ { 2 } \right)\) respectively. Find the probability that a randomly chosen potato of type \(A\) has a mass that is at least twice the mass of a randomly chosen potato of type \(B\).
