Before every flight, the pilot must verify that the total weight of the load is less than the maximum allowable load for the aircraft. The aircraft can carry 40 passengers, and a flight has fuel and baggage that allows for a total passenger load of 6,250 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 6,250 lb / 40 = 163 lb. What is the possiblity that the aircraft is overloaded? Should the pilot take any action to correct an overloaded aircraft? Assume that the weights of men are normally distributed with a mean of 177.3 lb and a standard deviation of 39.3 The probability is approximately
