Question
The problem statement is as follows:

"The random variable \( X \) is distributed normally with mean \( \mu_X \) and variance 6, and the random variable \( Y \) is normally distributed with mean 8 and variance \( \sigma_Y^2 \). \( 2X - 3Y \) is distributed normally with mean 12 and variance 42.

Calculate the values of \( \mu_X \) and \( \sigma_Y \) respectively. Assume independence!"

Options provided are:

- a. \( \mu_X = -6 \) and \( \sigma_Y = 2 \)
- b. \( \mu_X = 18 \) and \( \sigma_Y = \sqrt{2} \)
- c. \( \mu_X = -6 \) and \( \sigma_Y = \sqrt{2} \)
- d. \( \mu_X = 12 \) and \( \sigma_Y = \sqrt{42} \)
