A large freight elevator can handle a maximum 600-pound load of cargo containing 64 boxes. Experience has shown that this type of cargo has a mean weight of 144 pounds and a standard deviation of 20 pounds. What is the probability that all 64 boxes can be safely loaded onto the freight elevator?
Added by Alisha M.
Step 1
The total weight of all 64 boxes can be found by multiplying the mean weight of one box (144 pounds) by the number of boxes (64): Total weight = 144 x 64 = 9216 pounds Show more…

A large freight elevator can transport a maximum of 9800 pounds. Suppose a load of cargo containing 49 boxes must be transported via the elevator. Experience has shown that the weight of boxes of this type of cargo follows a distribution with mean μ = 205 pounds and standard deviation σ = 15 pounds. Based on this information, what is the probability that all 49 boxes can be safely loaded onto the freight elevator and transported?
