A Floor Tiling Contractor Has Just Sent Tina Out on a Job

question 31

Short Answer

A floor tiling contractor has just sent Tina out on a job without any indication of the size of the job.She does know that,over the years,the number of tiles required for each job has followed a normal distribution with a mean of 581 and a standard deviation of 210.She can either take the large truck (which is very difficult and expensive to drive)or the small truck to the job site.She is certain that the large truck can hold enough tiles to do the job,but she would prefer to take the small truck if she can.The small truck can carry up to 750 tiles.Because the job site is out of town,she can only make one trip.What is the probability that the small truck will carry enough tiles to do the job?
