Expert Solution

Step 1 Based on Companys guidelines we are allowed to answer 1st 3 parts only.

1. Statement : The Nominal size of dimensional lumber is smaller than the actual size of dimensional lumber.

Answer : False

Reason : Actual lumber size are the final size that are taken under consideration. Due to direction of grain there will be shrinkage in length as well as width wise. So, the properties of wood changes. So, basically actual size of lumber are smaller than dimensional lumber.

Correct statement : The actual size of dimensional lumber is smaller than the Nominal size of dimensional lumber
