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 Bombardier Dash 8 aircraft can carry 38 passengers, and a flight has fuel that allows for a total passenger load of 6200 lbs. The pilot sees that the plane is full and all passengers are men. 1. What would the average weight of the 38 passengers have to be in order to exceed 6200 lbs? 2. What is the probability that the plane is overloaded? Assume the weights of men are normally distributed with a mean of 189 lbs, and a standard deviation of 39 lbs
