Question
An engineer is going to redesign an ejection seat for an airplane. The seat was designed for pilots weighing between
normally distributed weights with a mean of
130
lb and
181
lb. The new population of pilots has 135 lb
and a standard deviation of
34.4 lb.
a. If a pilot is randomly selected, find the probability that his weight is between
130
lb and
181
lb.The probability is approximately
0.46950.4695.
(Round to four decimal places as needed.)b. If
40
different pilots are randomly selected, find the probability that their mean weight is between
130
lb and
181
lb.The probability is approximately
5.43915.4391.
(Round to four decimal places as needed.)Expert Solution
