Before everyflight, 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 7,095 lb. The pilot 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 7,095lb43=165 lb. What is the probability that the aircraft isoverloaded?
