Explanation of Solution
Given data:
The given measured values of lumber width and steel spherical balls are shown below.
Lumber Width (in.) | Steel spherical balls (cm) |
3.50 | 1.00 |
3.55 | 0.95 |
2.55 | 1.05 |
3.60 | 1.10 |
3.55 | 1.00 |
3.40 | 0.90 |
3.40 | 0.85 |
3.65 | 1.05 |
3.35 | 0.95 |
3.60 | 0.90 |
The total number of measured values,
Formula used:
From equation 19.1 in the textbook, the formula to find mean for any sample is,
Here,
From equation 19.5 in the textbook, the formula to find the variance is,
From equation 19.6 in the textbook, the formula to find standard deviation is,
Calculation:
Calculation for Lumber width:
Substitute all the value of lumber width for
Substitute all the value of lumber width for
Substitute all the value of lumber width for
Calculation for steel spherical balls:
Substitute all the value of spherical balls for
Substitute all the value of spherical balls for
Substitute all the value of spherical balls for
Therefore, the mean, variance, and standard deviation for the given values of lumber width are
Conclusion:
Thus, the mean, variance, and standard deviation for the given values of lumber width are

- You are an engineer designing an aeration tank for a wastewater treatment plant receiving municipal waste. The activated sludge system (aeration tank and secondary clarifier) you design needs to remove 85% of the incoming BODs from the primary effluent, giving a final concentration of 30.0 mg BODs/L exiting the system. Your design will maintain a concentration of 2500 mg VSS/L and F/M ratio of 0.5 g BOD/g VSS d in the aeration tank. In an effort to keep the waste activated sludge low in water, only about 0.1% of the primary effluent flow (Q) exits the WAS line. The secondary effluent has a flow rate of 9990 m³/d. What volume (in m³) will the aeration tank need to be? Write out all equations and state any assumptions as needed. Primary effluent: Q.

The office building is occupied by a single tenant/entity. The building management team had done an analysis of the building’s energy performance by extracting the data from the various systems. The current performance and findings of the systems are listed in Appendix A. The client is considering to have the building undergo retrofitting to improve the building’s energy performance. The objective is to achieve Green Mark Gold Plus under the new Green Mark 2021 framework. For part (a) below, you are to use Pathway 1: EUI for this.
