A ski lift states a maximum capacity is 12 people or 2004lb. A worst-case scenario would be 12 adult male passengers since they tend to be heavier verse women and children. Assume adult male weights are normally distributed with a mean of 188.6 lb and a standard deviation of 38.9 lb. A. If 12 men weighed exactly 2004 lb, what would be the average weight? B. Find the probability that a single man will have a weight greater than your result from A. C. Find the probability that a single man will have a weight greater than your result from A. Does the ski lift appear to have the correct weight limit from these results?
