A) maximum mean weight of passengers = <span>load limit ÷ number of passengers
</span><span>
maximum mean weight of passengers = 3750 </span>÷ 25 = <span>150lb
</span>B) First, find the z-score:
z = (value - mean) / stdev
= (150 - 199) / 41
= -1.20
We need to find P(z > -1.20) = 1 - P(z < -1.20)
Now, look at a standard normal table to find <span>P(z < -1.20) = 0.11507, therefore:
</span>P(z > -1.20) = 1 - <span>0.11507 = 0.8849
Hence, <span>the probability that the mean weight of 25 randomly selected skiers exceeds 150lb is about 88.5%</span> </span>
C) With only 20 passengers, the new maximum mean weight of passengers = 3750 ÷ 20 = <span>187.5lb
Let's repeat the steps of point B)
z = (187.5 - 199) / 41
= -0.29
P(z > -0.29) = 1 - P(z < -0.29) = 1 - 0.3859 = 0.6141
</span>Hence, <span>the probability that the mean weight of 20 randomly selected skiers exceeds 187.5lb is about 61.4%
D) The mean weight of skiers is 199lb, therefore:
number</span> of passengers = <span>load limit ÷ <span>mean weight of passengers
= 3750 </span></span><span>÷ 199
= 18.8
The new capacity of 20 skiers is safer than 25 skiers, but we cannot consider it safe enough, since the maximum capacity should be of 18 skiers.</span>

Answer: The height of the mountain is 1,331.4 meters (approximately)
Step-by-step explanation: From the information given, the students were standing at point b which is 800 meters from the base of the mountain and the angle of elevation from that point is 59°. Assuming that the ground is level, we can derive a right angled triangle from this set of details and hence we have triangle ABC, where angle β is the reference angle, (59 degrees), BC is the distance from the students to the base of the mountain (800 meters) and the line AC is the height of the mountain.
The line AC is the opposite, since angle B is the reference angle, therefore we shall use the trigonometric ratio as follows;
Tan β = opposite/adjacent
Tan 59 = AC/800
Tan 59 x 800 = AC
1.6643 x 800 = AC
1331.44 = AC
AC ≈ 1331.4
Therefore the height of the mountain is approximately 1,331.4 meters
The answer is 7.3. Hope that helps.
