Answer:

The probability that the weight of a randomly selected pilot is between 120 lbs. and 161 lbs. is 0.52.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X = weight of pilots.

It is provided that X follows a normal distribution with mean, μ = 130 lbs. and standard deviation, σ = 27.3 lbs.

Compute the probability that the weight of a randomly selected pilot is between 120 lbs. and 161 lbs. as follows:

[tex]P(120<X<161)=P(\frac{120-130}{27.3}<\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}<\frac{161-130}{27.3})\\\\=P(-0.37<Z<1.14)\\\\=P(Z<1.14)-P(Z<-0.37)\\\\=0.87286-0.35569\\\\=0.51717\\\\\approx 0.52[/tex]

Thus, the probability that the weight of a randomly selected pilot is between 120 lbs. and 161 lbs. is 0.52.
