Passengers died when a particular water taxi sank. Men are typically heavier than women and children, so when loading a water taxi, assume a worst-case scenario in which all passengers are men. Assume that weights of men are
41lb. The water taxi that sank had a stated capacity of 25 passengers, and the boat was rated for a load limit of 3750lb.
Complete parts (a) through (d) below
a. the max mean weight is________________lb
b. if the water is filled with 25 randomly selected men, what is the probability that thier mean weight exceeds the vlue from part (a)?
c. after the water taxi sank, the weight assumptionswere revised so that the new capacity became 20 passengers. if the water taxi is filled wiwth 20 randomly seleed men, what is the probability tht their mean weight exceeds 187.5 lb, which is the max mean weight that does not cause the total load to exceed 3750ld.
d. is the new caoacity of 20 passenger safe?

- UNOarrow_forwardA boat capsized and sank in a lake. Based on an assumption of a mean weight of 133 Ib, the boat was rated to carry 70 passengers (so the load limit was 9,310 Ib). After the boat sank, the assumed mean weight for similar boats was changed from 133 lb to 174 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 mean of 181.1 Ib and a standard deviation of 38.6 lb. Find the probability that the boat is overloaded because the 70 passengers have mean weight greater than 133 lb The probability isO: (Round to four decimal places as needed.) b. The boat was later rated to carry only 17 passengers, and the load limit was changed to 2,958 Ib. Find the probability that the boat is overloaded because the mean weight of the passengers is greater than 174 (so that their total weight is greater than the maximum capacity of 2,958 Ib).
