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 40 passengers, and a flight has fuel and baggage that allows for a total passenger load of 6,760 lb. The pilot sees that the plane is full and all passengers are men. The aircraft will 6,760 lb be overloaded if the mean weight of the passengers is greater than =169 lb. What is the probability that the aircraft is overloaded? Should the pilot take 40 any action to correct for an overloaded aircraft? Assume that weights of men are normally distributed with a mean of 182.5 lb and a standard deviation of 35.1. The probability is approximately (Round to four decimal places as needed.) Should the pilot take any action to correct for an overloaded aircraft? OA. Yes. Because the probability is high, the pilot should take action by somehow reducing the weight of the aircraft. OB. No. Because the probability is high, the aircraft is safe to fly with its current load.
