An elevator has a placard stating that the maximum capacity is 4100 lb-27 passengers. So, 27 adult male passengers can have a mean weight of up to 4100/27= 152 pounds. Assume that weights of males are normally distributed with a mean of 185 lb and a standard deviation of 29 lb. a. Find the probability that 1 randomly selected adult male has a weight greater than 152 lb. b. Find the probability that a sample of 27 randomly selected adult males has a mean weight greater than 152 lb. c. What do you conclude about the safety of this elevator? Round to four decimal places as needed

Question

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
