Avg difficulty 2.5

A property is offered for sale. Experience indicates the number N of bids is a random variable having values 0 through 8, with respective probabilities

Number 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
Probability 0.05 0.15 0.15 0.20 0.15 0.10 0.10 0.05 0.05

The market is such that bids (in thousands of dollars) are iid symmetric triangular on [150 250]. Determine the probability of at least one bid of $210,000 or more.
