Elevator Weight Limit A sign in an UGLI Library elevator indicates a 16-person limit as well as a weight limit of 2500 pounds. Suppose that the weights of students, faculty, and staff are approximately normally distributed with a mean weight of 150 pounds and a standard deviation of 40 pounds. What is the probability that a random sample of 16 people in the elevator will exceed the weight limit? (Hint: think about what exceeding the total weight limit would tell you about the sample mean weight across these 16 people.) A. 0.2643 B. 0.4364 C. 0.5636 D. 0.7357
