What is the probability the elevator is overloaded?

An elevator has a placard stating that the maximum capacity is 2016 lb- 12 passengers.​ So, 12 adult male passengers can have a mean weight of up to 2016/12=168 pounds If the elevator is loaded with 12 adult male​ passengers, find the probability that it is overloaded because they have a mean weight greater than 168 lb.​ (Assume that weights of males are normally distributed with a mean of 174 lb and a standard deviation of 31 lb​.) Does this elevator appear to be​ safe?
