Bags of a chemical produced by a company have impurity weights that can be represented by a normal distribution with a mean of 12.2 grams and a standard deviation of 2.8 grams. A random sample of 400 of these bags is taken. What is the probability that at least 100 of them contain fewer than 10 grams of impurities?
