A candle factory produces candles that are marketed as 15 cm long. There is some variability in the length of the candles manufactured - candle length has a continuous uniform distribution between 145 mm and 154 mm. These candles are sold in packages of 20. What is the probability that a random package will contain more than 5 candles which are over 150 mm in length. (Hint: First compute the probability that any single candle will be over 150 mm in length).*
