An elevator has a placard stating that the maximum capacity is 1730lblong dash10

passengers. So, 10adult male passengers can have a mean weight of up to 1730 divided by 10 equals 173 pounds. If the elevator is loaded with 10adult male passengers, find the probability that it is overloaded because they have a mean weight greater than 173lb. (Assume that weights of males are normally distributed with a mean of 175 lb. and a standard deviation of 31 lb.) Does this elevator appear to be safe?
