A company produces steel rods. The lengths of the steel rods are normally distributed with a mean of 185.9 cm and a standard deviation of 0.9 cm. For shipment, 6 steel rods are bundled together. Answer the following rounding to three decimals where appropriate. Find the probability that the average length of a randomly selected bundle of steel rods is greater than 187.08 cm.
