**Problem Statement:**

Compute the probability \( P([X_1 + X_2 - 2X_3]^2 > 40) \) given that \( X_1, X_2, X_3 \) are independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) random variables with a normal distribution \( N(1, 1) \). 

**Explanation:**

This problem involves calculating the probability that the square of the linear combination \( X_1 + X_2 - 2X_3 \) exceeds 40. Variables \( X_1, X_2, \) and \( X_3 \) are normally distributed with mean 1 and variance 1.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given that X2, X2 and X3 are iid normal distribution N(1,1).

Let Y=X1+X2-2X3

Consider,

EY=EX1+X2-2X3=EX1+EX2-2EX3                              =1+1-2                              =0

VY=VX1+X2-2X3=VX1+VX2+-22VX3                              =1+1+4                              =6
