X and Y are independent normal variables with
Mean (X) = 50
Mean (Y) = 80
SD (σx) = 4
SD(σy) = 3
Concept
Normal distribution is indicated by N(μ, √(σ2x+ σ22))
Calculation
Since X and Y are independent then
⇒ Z = X + Y ~ N(X + Y, (σ2x + σ2y)
⇒ P(Z) = P(X + Y) ~ N(130, (42 + 32)
⇒ N(130, 25)
∴ N(μ, √(σ2x+ σ22) is N(130, 5)
