//A large elevator can transport a maximum of 9800 pounds. Suppose a load of cargo containing 49 boxes must be transported via the elevator. The box weight of this type of cargo follows a distribution with a mean of 205 pounds and a standard deviation of 15 pounds. Based on this information, what is the probability that all boxes can be safely loaded into the freight elevator and transported?

    double ans = 0.5 * ( 1 + erf( (x - mean)/ (sd * sqrt(2))) ); //note could use pow(2.0,0.5) as sqrt(2)
    return ans;

// For larger sample sizes use central limit theorem

//A few hours before the game starts,  eager students line up to purchase last-minute tickets. If there are only tickets left, what is the probability that all  students will be able to purchase tickets?
