Continuous Random Variables - Normal Models for Sample Means and Averages

The life, in hours, of a randomly chosen light bulb produced by a manufacturer is normally distributed with mean \(1100\) and standard deviation \(70\). How large a sample is required such that the probability that the mean life in the sample shall exceed \(1120\) is not more than \(5\%\)?
