1. Volume of a container. A cubic shipping container had a volume of 3 cubic meters. The height was decreased by a whole number of meters and the width was increased by a whole number of meters so that the volume of the container is now a3+2a2- 3a cubic meters. By how many meters were the height and width changed?

2. Worker efficiency. In a study of worker efficiency at Wong Laboratories it was found that the number of components assembled per hour by the average worker t hours after starting working could be modeled by the function. N(t) = -3t3+23t2+8t.

a. Rewrite the formula by factoring the right-hand side completely.
b. Use the factored version of the formula to find N(3)

3. Area of a triangle. If the base of a triangle is 8x+16 yards and its height is 1/(x+2) yards, then what is the area of the triangle?

  • "Your solution, looks excellent. I recognize things from previous chapters. I have seen the standard deviation formula you used to get 5.154. I do understand the Central Limit Theorem needs the sample size (n) to be greater than 30, we have 100. I do understand the sample mean(s) of the population will follow a normal distribution, and that CLT states the sample mean of population is the population (mean), we have 143.74. But when and WHY do we use the standard deviation formula where you got 5.154. WHEN & Why use standard deviation of the sample mean. I don't understand, why don't we simply use the "100" I understand that standard deviation is the square root of variance. I do understand that the variance is the square of the differences of each sample data value minus the mean. But somehow, why not use 100, why use standard deviation of sample mean? Please help explain."
