The weight of goats at a farm is normally distributed with a mean of 60 kg and a standard deviation of 10 kg. A truck used to transport goats can only accommodate not more than 65 kg. If 10 goats are selected at random from the population, what is the probability that the total weight exceeds the maximum weight?

A particular fruit's weights are normally distributed, with a mean of 492 grams and a standard deviation of 14 grams. If you pick one fruit at random, what is the probability that it will weigh between 479 grams and 511 grams
A semi-truck can transport a maximum of 14,950 pounds. Suppose that a load of cargo containing 115 boxes needs to be transported via this semi-truck. Research has shown that the weights of boxes for this type of cargo have a distribution that has a population mean weight of 125 pounds and a population standard deviation of 20 pounds. Based on this information, what is the probability that all 115 boxes can be safely loaded into the semi-truck and transported?
