A boat capsized and sank in a lake. Based on an assumption of a mean weight of 150lb, the boat was rated to carry 70 passengers (so the load limit was 10 comma 500lb). After the boat sank, the assumed mean weight for similar boats was changed from 150lb to 173lb. assume that a similar boat is loaded with 70passengers, and assume that the weights of people are normally distributed with a mean of 178.3lb and a standard deviation of 39.7 lb. Find the probability that the boat is overloaded because the 70 passengers have a mean weight greater than 150 lb. The probability is1. a. The boat was later rated to carry only 16 passengers, and the load limit was changed to 2 comma 768 lb. Find the probability that the boat is overloaded because the mean weight of the passengers is greater than 173 (so that their total weight is greater than the maximum capacity of 2 comma 768 lb). The probability is (Round to four decimal places as needed.)
