Question

A boat capsized and sank in a lake. Based on an assumption of the mean weight of 130​lb, After the boat​ sank, the assumed mean weight for similar boats was changed from 130 lb to 171 lb. Complete parts a and b below.

a. Assume that a similar boat is loaded with 70 ​passengers, and assume that the weights of people are normally distributed with a mean of 182.7 lb and a standard deviation of 40.4 lb. Find the probability that the boat is overloaded because the 70 passengers have a mean weight greater than 130 lb. The probability is _____.​(Round to four decimal places as​ needed.)

b. The boat was later rated to carry only 14 ​passengers, and the load limit was changed to 2,394 lb. Find the probability that the boat is overloaded because the mean weight of the passengers is greater than 171 ​(so that their total weight is greater than the maximum capacity of 2,394 ​lb). The probability is ______​(Round to four decimal places as​ needed.)
