Total weight of the load


Before every flight, the pilot must verify that total weight of the load is less than the maximum allowable load for the aircraft. The aircraft can carry 41 passengers, and a flight has fuel and baggage that allows for a total passenger load of 6,765 lb. The pilot sees that the plane is full and all passengers are men. The aircraft will be overloaded if the mean weight of the passengers is greater than 6,765 lb41=165 lb. What is the probability that the aircraft is overloaded? Should the pilot take any action to correct for an overloaded aircraft? Assume that weights of men are normally distributed with a mean of 173 lb and a standard deviation of 36.8.

The probability is approximately_____

(Round to four decimal places as needed.)
