Assume that military aircraft use ejection seats designed for men weighing between 134.4 lb and 205 lb. If women's weights are normally distributed with a mean of 168.6 lb and a standard deviation of 40.7 lb, what percentage of women have weights that are within those limits? Are many women excluded with those specifications?

Step 1
4 - 168.6}{40.7} = -0.84\) For the upper limit: \(z_{\text{upper}} = \frac{205 - 168.6}{40.7} = 0.89\) ** Show more…

Assume that military aircraft use ejection seats designed for men weighing between 135.3 lb and 214 lb. If women's weights are normally distributed with a mean of 174.7 lb and a standard deviation of 46.8 lb, what percentage of women have weights that are within those limits? Are many women excluded with those specifications?

Loading Aircraft 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 37 passengers, and a flight has fuel and baggage that allows for a total passenger load of 6200 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 $6200 \mathrm{lb} / 37=167.6 \mathrm{lb}$. What is the probability that the aircraft is overloaded? Should the pilot take any action to correct for an overloaded aircraft? Assume that weights of men are normally distributed with a mean of 189 lb and a standard deviation of 39 lb (based on Data Set I "Body Data" in Appendix B).
