On October 5, 2005, a tour boat named the Ethan Allen capsized on Lake George in New York with 47 passengers aboard. In the inquiries that followed, it was suggested that the tour operators should have realized that the combined weight of so many passengers was likely to exceed the weight capacity of the boat, 7500 lbs. Data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention indicate that weights of American adults in 2005 had a mean of 167 pounds and a standard deviation of 35 pounds. Based on this information, how surprising is it for a sample of 47 passengers to have an average weight of at least 7500/47 = 159.57 lbs? Explain your reasoning in detail.
