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?
