From a large consignment of clementine fruit destined for a UK supermarket the cus- toms office is making a check at the boarder. According to the sender the weight of the fruit belongs to an unknown distribution of mean 50 g and variance 16 g. If the cus- toms officer takes 100 fruits at random what is the probability that their total weight will be more than 5040 g. Justify any assumptions you make in your calculations.
