Similarly, the random variable Y_2 = e^{X_2} characterizes the insurer's annual liability losses, where X_2 is normally distributed with mean 15 and standard deviation 2.

The insurer's annual property losses are independent of its annual liability losses.

Calculate the probability that, in a given year, the minimum of the insurer's property losses and liability losses exceeds e^{16}.
