A study of the ability of individuals to walk in a straight line reported the accompanying data on cadence (strides per second) for a sample of n = 20 randomly selected healthy men.
0.95 0.85 0.92 0.95 0.93 0.85 1.00 0.92 0.85 0.81
0.78 0.93 0.93 1.05 0.93 1.06 1.08 0.96 0.81 0.96
A normal probability plot gives substantial support to the assumption that the population distribution of cadence is approximately normal. A descriptive summary of the data from Minitab follows.

What is the purchase quantity of 2 x 6 rafters needed for the roof and how many pieces of ridge shingles are needed for the roof? The slope of the roof is 4:12 and the exposure is 5 inches wide. 
For the system shown in Figure 2, u(t) and y(t) denote the absolute displacements of Building A and Building B, respectively. The two buildings are connected using a linear viscous damper with damping coefficient c. Due to construction activity, the floor mass of Building B was estimated that vibrates with harmonic displacement that is described by the following function: y(t) = yocos(2πft). Figure 2: Single-degree-of-freedom system in Problem 2. Please compute the following related to Building A: (a) Derive the equation of motion of the mass m. (20 points) (b) Find the expression of the amplitude of the steady-state displacement of the mass m. (10 points
