Suppose that the manufacturing of a particular part requires three
different machining operations. Machining time (X1, X2, X3) for each of the three
operations has a normal distribution and are independent from one another. The
mean values are 10, 12, and 8 minutes respectively, and standard deviations are 2,
2.5, and 1.5 respectively. 

a. What is the probability that it takes at most 26 minutes total to produce a
randomly selected part? 

b. What is the probability the difference in machining timing between the second
and first operation (X2-X1) exceeds 6 minutes?
