Question

an elevator has a play card stating that the maximum capacity is 3600 lb 25 passengers so 25 adult male passengers can have a mean way of up to 144 lb assume that the weights of males are normally distributed with the mean of 178 lb and a standard deviation of 37 lb

Answer 1

Answer:144lb

Explanation:

The elevator has a maximum capacity of 3600 lb and can hold up to 25 passengers. If all the passengers are adult males, the mean weight per passenger can be calculated by dividing the maximum capacity by the number of passengers.

Mean weight per passenger = Maximum capacity / Number of passengers

Mean weight per passenger = 3600 lb / 25 passengers

Mean weight per passenger = 144 lb

So, if there are 25 adult male passengers in the elevator, the mean weight per passenger would be 144 lb
