The weight of people in a small town in missouri is known to be normally distributed with a mean of 188 pounds and a standard deviation of 29 pounds. on a raft that takes people across the river, a sign states, "maximum capacity 3,600 pounds or 18 persons." what is the probability that a random sample of 18 persons will exceed the weight limit of 3,600 pounds?
