The random variables X_1, X_2, X_3 represent the values of three independent investments. Each is normally distributed with E(X_i) = 100 and \text{Var}(X_i) = 27i/2, i = 1, 2, 3. Let \Phi(x) denote the cumulative distribution function of the standard normal variable.

Determine the probability that the average value of the three investments exceeds 106.
