An elevator has a placard stating that the maximum capacity is
1980
lb—12
passengers. So,
12
adult male passengers can have a mean weight of up to
1980/12=165 pounds.
If the elevator is loaded with
adult male passengers, find the probability that it is overloaded because they have a mean weight greater than
165
lb. (Assume that weights of males are normally distributed with a mean of
171 lb
and a standard deviation of
35 lb.)
Does this elevator appear to be safe?
