8. A ski gondola carries skiers to the top of a mountain. It bears a plaque stating that the maximum capacity is 13 people or 2132 lb. That capacity will be exceeded if 13 people have weights with a mean greater than 2132lb/13 = 164 lb. Assume that weights of passengers are normally distributed with a mean of 181 lb and a standard deviation of 40.9 lb. Complete parts a through c below.
Find the probability that 13 randomly selected passengers will have a mean weight that is greater than 164 lb (so that their total weight is greater than the gondola maximum capacity of 2132 lb)
(Round to four decimal places as needed.)
12. An airliner carries 250 passengers and has doors with a height of 72 in. Heights of men are normally distributed with a mean of 69.0 in and a standard deviation of 2.8 in. Complete parts (a) through (d).
If half of the 250 passengers are men, find the probability that the mean height of the 125 men is less than 72 in.
The probability is____.
(Round to four decimal places as needed.)
