A fitness company is building a 20-story high-rise. Architects building the high-rise know that women working for the company have weights that are normally distributed with a mean of 143 lb and a standard deviation of 29 lb, and men working for the company have weights that are normally distributed with a mean of 168 lb and a standard deviation or 34 lb. You need to design an elevator that will safely carry 17 people. Assuming a worst case scenario of 17 male passengers, find the maximum total allowable weight if we want to a 0.995 probability that this maximum will not be exceeded when 17 males are randomly selected. maximum weight = _______ lb
