On the distant planet Cowabunga , the weights of cows have a normal distribution with a mean of 526 pounds and a standard deviation of 49 pounds. The cow transport truck holds 11 cows and can hold a maximum weight of 6083. If 11 cows are randomly selected from the very large herd to go on the truck, what is the probability their total weight will be over the maximum allowed of 6083? (This is the same as asking what is the probability that their mean weight is over 553.)
