An engineer is going to redesign an ejection seat for an
airplane. The seat was designed for pilots weighing between120 lb
and 161 lb. The new population of pilots has normally distributed
weights with a mean of 129 lb and a standard deviation of 34.1
lb.
a. If a pilot is randomly selected, find the probability that his
weight is between 120 lb and 161 lb.
The probability is approximately 0.4290. (Round to four decimal
places as needed.)
b. If 33 different pilots are randomly selected, find the
probability that their mean weight is between 120 lb and 161
lb.
The probability is approximately nothing. (Round to four decimal
places as needed.)
Refer Standard normal table/Z-table to find the probability or use excel formula "=NORM.S.DIST(0.94, TRUE)" & "=NORM.S.DIST(-0.26, TRUE)" to find the probability.

Refer Standard normal table/Z-table to find the probability or use excel formula "=NORM.S.DIST(5.39, TRUE)" & "=NORM.S.DIST(-1.52, TRUE)" to find the probability.
