The masses, in kilograms, of large and small sacks of flour have the distributions \(N(55,3^2)\) and \(N(27,2.5^2)\) respectively.
(a) Some sacks are loaded onto a boat. The maximum load of flour that the boat can carry safely is 340 kg.
(a) Find the probability that the boat can carry safely 3 randomly chosen large sacks of flour and 6 randomly chosen small sacks of flour. [5]
(b) Find the probability that the mass of a randomly chosen large sack of flour is greater than the total mass of two randomly chosen small sacks of flour. [5]
