Overloading of Waste Disposal Facility The town of Newport operates a rubbish waste disposal facility that is overloaded if its 4872 households discard waste with weights having a mean that exceeds 27.88 lb in a week. For many different weeks, it is found that the samples of 4872 households have weights that are normally distributed with a mean of 27.44 lb and a standard deviation of 12.46 lb (based on data om the Garbage Project at the University of Arizona). What is the proportion of weeks in which the waste disposal facility is overloaded? Is this an acceptable level, or should action be taken to correct a problem of an overloaded system?
