A farm keeps hens of two breeds, \(A\) and \(B\). The masses of eggs laid by breed \(A\) hens are normally distributed with mean \(58\) grams and standard deviation \(4.5\) grams. The masses of eggs laid by breed \(B\) hens are normally distributed with mean \(63\) grams and standard deviation \(5\) grams.
Of all the eggs collected on the farm, \(70\%\) are laid by breed \(A\) hens and \(30\%\) by breed \(B\) hens. The probability that an egg laid by a breed \(B\) hen has a mass greater than \(66\) grams is \(0.274\). One egg is chosen at random from all the eggs collected.
