The random variable \(X\) is normally distributed with mean \(135\) variance \({{\sigma }^{2}}\).

(i)

Given that \(\text{P}\left( 127a \right)=0.3865\), show that \(\sigma =10.68\), correct to the \(2\) decimal places, and find the value of the constant \(a\).

\(X\) is related to a normal random variable \(Y\) by formula \(X={{Y}_{1}}+{{Y}_{2}}-4\), where \({{Y}_{1}}\) and \({{Y}_{2}}\) are two independent observations of \(Y\).

(ii)

Find \(\text{E}\left( Y \right)\) and \(\text{Var}\left( Y \right)\).
