Simulates,
via Monte Carlo, the filling of a packet (or bag) of items,
in a tube-style, FIFO (first in, first out) strategy (as in a doubly open tube).
The objective is to get a final filling with weight (mass)
in (L, U). An example might be to fill a bag of 1 kg of oranges,
namely (as in the base data), weighing between
L = 1000 and U = 1040 g.
The weight of each item is considered truncated Gaussian.
(Tolerance is for the inversion of the Gaussian distribution.)
Several other, better strategies (worthy of research)
would be convenient to try to reach the final sum within the limits.
