An elevator has a placard stating that the maximum capacity is 1312 lb8 passengers. So. 8 adult male passengers can have a mean weight of up to 1312/8 = 164 pounds. If the elevator is loaded with 8 adult male passengers, find the probability that it is overloaded because they have a mean weight greater than 164 lb. (Assume that weights of males are normally distributed with a mean of 171 lb and a standard deviation of 25 lb.) Does this elevator appear to be safe? The probability the elevator is overloaded is D. (Round to four decimal places as needed.)
