In the study of fingerprints, an important quantitative characteristic is the total ridge count for the 10 fingers of the individual. Suppose that the total ridge counts of individuals in a certain population are approximately normally distributed with a mean of 140 and a standard deviation of 50.

Find the probability that an individual picked at random from this population will have a ridge count of 200 or more.
