Before every flight, the pilot must verify that the total weight of the load is less than the maximum allowable load for the aircraft. The aircraft can carry 42 passengers, and a flight has fuel and baggage that allows for a total passenger load of 6,930 Ib. The pilot sees that the plane is full and all passengers are men. The aircraft will be overloaded if the mean weight of the 6,930 Ib passengers is greater than = 165 Ib. What is the probability that the aircraft is overloaded? Should the pilot take any action to correct for an overloaded aircraft? Assume that 42 weights of men are normally distributed with a mean of 172.7 lb and standard deviation of 38.1. The probability is approximately: (Round to four decimal places as needed.)
