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 183 lb and a standard deviation or 28 lb.
