An engineer is going to redesign an ejection seat for an airplane. The seat was designed for pilot weighing between 140 lb and 191 lb. The new population of pilots has normally distributed weigh with a mean of 149 lb and a standard deviation of 28.7 lb. a. If a pilot is randomly selected, find the probability that his weight is between 140 lb and 191 lb. The probability is approximately (Round to four decimal places as needed.) b. If 37 different pilots are randomly selected, find the probability that their mean weight is between 140 lb and 191 lb. The probability is approximately (Round to four decimal places as needed.) c. When redesigning the ejection seat, which probability is more relevant?

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?

Suppose Michigan is favored by 17.5 points over Indiana. If you bet a “unit” on Indiana and Indiana loses by 17 or less, you win $10. If Indiana loses by 18 or more points, you lose $11.

Assume that there is a 0.5 probability that you will win your bet and a 0.5 probability that you will lose your bet.
