An automated machine dispenses milkshakes into large-size cups at a local fast food chain. The amount dispensed is normally distributed with a mean of 23 and standard deviation of 1.4, all measures in ounces. If the cups can hold a maximum of 25 ounces, and 700 milkshakes are sold on a particular day, about how many of the milkshakes will overflow
