Redesign of Ejection Seats In the Chapter Problem, it was noted that engineers were redesigning fighter jet ejection seats to better accommodate women. Before women became fighter jet pilots, the ACES-II ejection seats were designed for men weighing between 140 lb and 211 lb. The population of women has normally distributed weights with a mean of 143 lb and a standard deviation of 29 lb (based on data from the National Health Survey).

a. If 1 woman is randomly selected, find the probability that her weight is between 140 lb and 211 lb.

b. If 36 different women are randomly selected, find the probability that their mean weight is between 140 lb and 211 lb.

c. When redesigning the fighter jet ejection seats to better accommodate women, which probability is more relevant: the result from part
