If the total weight of the two bags x1 x2 exceeds 1054


An automated process is used to fill bags with fertilizer. The weight of the bags is a random variable with a normal distribution having a mean μ=50 pounds and variance= 4.5.

If the total weight of the two bags, X1 + X2 exceeds 105.4 pounds, a surcharge is added onto the shipping cost.
