The population of weights for men attending a local health club
is normally distributed with a mean of 180-lbs and a standard
deviation of 25-lbs. An elevator in the health club is limited to
32 occupants, but it will be overloaded if the total weight is in
excess of 6112-lbs.
Assume that there are 32 men in the elevator. What is the average
weight of the 32 men beyond which the elevator would be considered
overloaded?
average weight = _________ lbs
What is the probability that one randomly selected male health club
member will exceed this weight?
P(one man exceeds) = _____________
(Report answer accurate to 4 decimal places.)
If we assume that 32 male occupants in the elevator are the result
of a random selection, find the probability that the elevator will
be overloaded?
P(elevator overloaded) =____________
(Report answer accurate to 4 decimal places.)
If the elevator is full (on average) 6 times a day, how many times
will the elevator be overloaded in one (non-leap) year?
number of times overloaded = _________________
(Report answer rounded to the nearest whole number.)
