A factory makes loaves of bread in batches. One batch of loaves contains X kilograms of dried yeast and Y kilograms of flour, where X and Y have the independent distributions N(0.7, 0.02²) and N(100.0, 3.0²) respectively. Dried yeast costs $13.50 per kilogram and flour costs $0.90 per kilogram. For making one batch of bread the total of all other costs is $55. The factory sells each batch of bread for $200. Find the probability that the profit made on one randomly chosen batch of bread is greater than $40.
