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 43 passengers, and a flight has fuel and baggage that allows for a total passenger load of 7,181 lb. The pilot 7,181 lb sees that the plane is full and all passengers are men. The aircraft will be overloaded if the mean weight of the passengers is greater than = 167 Ib. What is the probability that the aircraft is overloaded? Should the pilot take any action to correct for an 43 overloaded aircraft? Assume that weights of men are normally distributed with a mean of 178.9 lb and a standard deviation of 35.4. The probability is approximately. (Round to four decimal places as needed.)
