5. The workers in a large office block use a lift that can carry a maximum load of 1090 kg . The weights of the male workers are normally distributed with mean 78.5 kg and standard deviation 12.6 kg . The weights of the female workers are normally distributed with mean 62.0 kg and standard deviation 9.8 kg .
Random samples of 7 males and 8 females can enter the lift.
- Find the mean and variance of the total weight of the 15 people that enter the lift.
- Comment on any relationship you have assumed in part (a) between the two samples.
- Find the probability that the maximum load of the lift will be exceeded by the total weight of the 15 people.
