Suppose that among salmon fish that are longer than 80cm, their weights have a mean of 6.4kg and a standard deviation of 0.5kg. The wholesale price per kg for these salmon fish is $9.46. The fishing company supplies freshly caught salmon to a local restaurant. The restaurant just placed an order for 120 salmon fish. If the fishing company randomly selects 120 salmon that are longer than 80cm for the restaurant, find the probability that the total wholesale price of the 120 salmon exceeds $7,350.
