Assume that military aircraft use ejection seats designed for men weighing between 140.6 lb and 217 lb. If​ women's weights are normally distributed with a mean of 177.1 lb and a standard deviation of 49.4 ​lb, what percentage of women have weights that are within those​ limits? Are many women excluded with those​ specifications?

Question
Assume that military aircraft use ejection seats designed for men weighing between
140.6
lb and
217
lb. If​ women's weights are normally distributed with a mean of
177.1
lb and a standard deviation of
49.4
​lb, what percentage of women have weights that are within those​ limits? Are many women excluded with those​ specifications?

Part 1
The percentage of women that have weights between those limits is
enter your response here​%.
​(Round to two decimal places as​ needed.)
Part 2
Are many women excluded with those​ specifications?
 
 
A.
​No, the percentage of women who are​ excluded, which is the complement of the probability found​ previously, shows that very few women are excluded.
 
B.
​No, the percentage of women who are​ excluded, which is equal to the probability found​ previously, shows that very few women are excluded.
 
C.
​Yes, the percentage of women who are​ excluded, which is equal to the probability found​ previously, shows that about half of women are excluded.
 
D.
​Yes, the percentage of women who are​ excluded, which is the complement of the probability found​ previously, shows that about half of women are excluded.
