Assume that military aircraft use ejection seats designed for men weighing between 147.4 lb and 205 lb. If women's weights are normally distributed with a mean of 164.3 lb and a standard deviation of 41.4 lb, what percentage of women have weights that are within those limits? Are many women excluded with those specifications? The percentage of women that have weights between those limits is?

Assume that military aircraft use ejection seats designed for men weighing between 140.6 lb and 210 lb. If women's weights are normally distributed with a mean of 164.7 lb and a standard deviation of 42.7 lb, what percentage of women have weights that are within those limits? Are many women excluded with those specifications?

Assume that the weights of individuals are independent and normally distributed with a mean of 160 pounds and a standard deviation of 30 pounds. Suppose that 25 people squeeze into an elevator that is designed to hold 4300 pounds. (a) What is the probability that the load (total weight) exceeds the design limit? (b) What design limit is exceeded by 25 occupants with probability $0.0001 ?$
