A boat capsized and sank in a lake. Based on an assumption of a mean weight of 139 ​lb, the boat was rated to carry 60 passengers​ (so the load limit was 8,340 ​lb). After the boat​ sank, the assumed mean weight for similar boats was changed from 139 lb to 170 lb. Complete parts a and b below. a. Assume that a similar boat is loaded with 60 ​passengers, and assume that the weights of people are normally distributed with a mean of 178.4 lb and a standard deviation of 36.9 lb. Find the probability that the boat is overloaded because the passengers have a mean weight greater than 139 lb.
The probability is ​(Round to four decimal places as​ needed.)

b. The boat was later rated to carry 15 only ​passengers, and the load limit was changed to 2550 lb. Find the probability that the boat is overloaded because the mean weight of the passengers is greater than 170 ​(so that their total weight is greater than the maximum capacity of 2550 ​lb).
The probability is ​(Round to four decimal places as​ needed.)

Do the new ratings appear to be safe when the boat is loaded with ​passengers? Choose the correct answer below.
A. Because 178.4 is greater than 170 ​, the new ratings do not appear to be safe when the boat is loaded with 15 passengers.
B. Because there is a high probability of​ overloading, the new ratings do not appear to be safe when the boat is loaded with 15 passengers.
C. Because there is a high probability of​ overloading, the new ratings appear to be safe when the boat is loaded with 15 passengers.
D. Because the probability of overloading is lower with the new ratings than with the old​ ratings, the new ratings appear to be safe.
