Hi, I need help with solving probability. An elevator has a placard

An elevator has a placard stating that the maximum capacity is 2475 lb15 passengers. So, 15 adult male passengers can have a mean weight of up to 2475/ 15 = 165 pounds. If the elevator is loaded with 15 adult male passengers. nd the probability that it is overloaded because they have a mean weight greater than 165 lb. (Assume that weights of males are normally distributed with a mean of 175 lb and a standard deviation of 27 lb.) Does this elevator appear to be safe? The probability the elevator is overloaded is (Round to four decimal places as needed.)
