Explanation Given: Base side of pyramid, a = 756 ft Height of pyramid, h = 481 ft Average size of limestone = 1.5 ft 3 Formula used: Volume of pyramid = 1 3 a 2 h Calculation: Part a: Comparison of pyramid height with length of football ground Height of pyramid = 481 ft Length of football ground = 100 yards = 300 ft Height of the pyramid Length of the football field = 481 ft 300 ft = 1.60 The height of the pyramid is 1.6 times the length of the football field. Part b: Volume of pyramid V o l u m e o f p y r a m i d = 1 3 a 2 h = 1 3 ( 756 ft ) 2 × ( 481 ft ) = 91636272 f t 3 91636272 f t 3 3 3 = 3393936 y a r d 3 Part c: No of limestone blocksin pyramid Volume of 1 limestone = 1.5 yard 3 No of limestone required = Volume of pyramid Volume of 1 limestone = 3393936 1.5 = 2262624 Part d: Time required building pyramid and comparing the studies done on that. No of limestone required = 2262624 Time required for placing all the limestone = 2.5 × 2262624 = 5656560 minutes = 94276 hours Since only 12 hours are working per day, no of days = 94276 12 = 7856...

8.2.5 An article in Obesity Research [“Impaired Pressure Natriuresis in Obese Youths” (2003, Vol. 11, pp. 745–751)] described a study in which all meals were provided for 14 lean boys for three days followed by one stress test (with a video-game task). The average systolic blood pressure (SBP) during the test was 118.3 mm HG with a standard deviation of 9.9 mm HG.

Seven previously untrained males performed leg-strength training 3 days per week for 8 weeks (with four sets of five replications at 85% of one repetition maximum). Peak power during incremental cycling increased to a mean of 315 watts with a standard deviation of 16 watts. Construct a 95% confidence…
