The mass of a biscuit follows a normal distribution with mean 50 g and standard deviation 4 g. A packet contains 10 biscuits. Packaging material has a mean of 40 g and standard deviation 3 g, independent of the biscuits.

Calculate the probability that the total mass of the package of biscuits is less than 510 g.
