Question
(d) What is the probability that a random sample of 16 people will exceed the weight limit?
An elevator at a college has a posted weight limit of 2,700 pounds, and a maximum capacity of 16 people. We determined that if the
sample mean x 2 168.75 for a particular sample of 16 people, then the weight capacity will be exceeded. We are asked to determine
the probability that a random sample of 16 people will exceed the weight limit.
We previously determined the mean and standard deviation of the sampling distribution of x.
H- - 165
- - 8.25
We are given that the distribution of weights of individuals on campus is approximately normal, so the sampling distribution of x is
approximately normal also. We can calculate the desired probability by standardizing. Recall the standardization formula.
b- -
PK z b) = z2.
In other words, we need to find the following. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

2 168.75) = Pz2
