Question
An elevator has a placard stating that the maximum capacity is 3700 Ib-26 passengers. So, 26 adult male passengers can have a mean weight of up to 3700 / 26 = 142 pounds. Assume that weights of males are normally distributed with a mean of 187 lb and a standard deviation of 38 Ib. a. Find the probability that 1 randomly selected adult male has a weight greater than 142 Ib. b. Find the probability that a sample of 26 randomly selected adult males has a mean weight greater than 142 Ib c. What do you conclude about the safety of this elevator? a. The probability that 1 randomly selected adult male has a weight greater than 142 lb is __. (Round to four decimal places as needed.) b. The probability that a sample of 26 randomly selected adult males has a mean weight greater than 142 lb is __. (Round to four decimal places as needed.) c. Does this elevator appear to be safe? O A. No, because 26 randomly selected people will never be under the weight limit. O B. Yes, because there is a good chance that 26 randomly selected people will not exceed the elevator capacity. O C. No, because there is a good chance that 26 randomly selected adult male passengers will exceed the elevator capacity. O D. Yes, because 26 randomly selected adult male passengers will always be under the weight limit.
