Step 1 :

\

Passenger load for the water taxi was 3500 lb.

\

Mean weight of men is 182.9 lb.

\

Standard deviation of men is 40.8 lb.

\

(a)

\

If one man is randomly selected.

\

Find the probability that he weight less than 174 lb.

\

Probability of man weighs less than 174 lb is \"\".

\

Standardize x to z using z - Score formula.

\

z - Score formula is \"\".

\

Where σ is standard deviation,

\

         μ is the mean.

\

\"\"

\

From z - score table the probability is \"\".

\

Therefore \"\".

\

 

\

 

\

 

\

(b)

\

Step 1 :

\

Passenger load for the water taxi was 3500 lb.

\

Mean weight of men is 140 lb.   

\

Find the number of passengers are allowed to travel with specifications.

\

Number of passengers are allowed to travel = \"\".

\

\"\"

\

Therefore 25 men are allowed to travel with mean 140 lb.

\

 

\

 

\

 

\

(c)

\

Step 1 :

\

Passenger load for the water taxi was 3500 lb.

\

Mean weight of men is 182.9 lb.

\

Find the number of passengers are allowed to travel with specifications.

\

Number of passengers are allowed to travel = \"\".

\

\"\"

\

Therefore 19 men are allowed to travel with mean 182.9 lb.
