Standardise tails of three independent normal variables

DIFFICULTYstandard
Question 1 of 8

Calculator allowed

X,Y,Z are mutually independent normal variables. In N(μ,σ²), the second parameter is the variance. All three displayed weights are nonzero. Find the combined distribution parameters, standardise the boundary and calculate the requested tail. Give exact parameters and a probability to four decimal places

\[X\sim N(1,64),\quad Y\sim N(0,64),\quad Z\sim N(-2,64)\]
\[W=(1)X+(2)Y+(2)Z+(-2),\qquad \Pr(W>-5)\]
