Question
On the distant planet Cowabunga, the weights of cows have a normal distribution with a mean of 483 pounds and a standard deviation of 70 pounds. The cow transport truck holds 5 cows and can hold a maximum weight of 2840. If 5 cows are randomly selected from the very large herd to go on the truck, what is the probability their total weight will be over the maximum allowed of 2840

Answer: 0.0033
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be a random variable that denotes the weights of cows.
Given:
maximum weight can be hold= 2840 pounds.
Mean weight = = 568 pounds
The probability their total weight will be over the maximum allowed of 2840
=
Hence, the required probability = 0.0033
