The time required to roast a duck may be taken to have a normal distribution with a mean of
45 minutes and standard deviation 12 minutes. The time required to roast a chicken may be
taken to have an independent normal distribution with mean 30 minutes and standard
deviation 8 minutes. Assume that the oven can only roast one poultry at one time. 0.338
One duck is chosen at random. Find the probability that at least 50 minutes will be
required to roast it.
(ii) Three randomly chosen ducks are roasted successively in random order. Find the
probability that each of them requires more than 45 minutes to roast.
