A manufacturing company produces steel housings for electrical equipment. The main component part of the housing is a steel trough that is made out of a 14-gauge steel coil. It is produced using a 250-ton progressive punch press with a wipe-down operation that puts two 90-degree forms in the flat steel to make the trough. The distance from one side of the form to the other is critical because of weatherproofing in outdoor applications. The company requires that the width of the trough be between 8.31 inches and 8.61 inches. The widths of the troughs, in inches, collected from a sample of 49 troughs and stored in Trough, are:
- Construct a frequency distribution and a percentage distribution.
- Construct a cumulative percentage distribution.
- What can you conclude about the number of troughs that will meet the company’s requirements of troughs being between 8.31 and 8.61 inches wide?

According to a website, about 70% of a watermelon is edible fruit while the remaining 30% is rind. Ben wants to estimate the volume (in cups) of edible fruit from a whole watermelon that he purchased. He doesn't want to cut the watermelon to find the radius, so instead Ben uses a flexible ruler to determine the watermelon's circumference to be 70 centimeters. Determine the approximate volume of fruit Ben can expect this watermelon to yield. (Use 1 cup = 237 cubic centimeters and round your answer to the nearest whole cup.) Approximately cupsarrow_forward
- E Neil is building a patio with interlocking stone in the shape shown. The preparation work is complete. He will do the final levelling work and lay the stones himself. He must install a levelling bed of screenings 6 inches deep, then lay the stones on this bed. Screenings costs $30 per cubic yard, tax included. The stones come on skids, each skid having enough stones to cover 74 square feet. The cost of a skid is $165, tax and delivery included.

Ignoring the tabs and slots where plates are snapped together, both types measure 20 cm x 20 cm. In the first type, the track is a straight line joining the middles of opposite sides. In the second, the track is a quarter circle joining the middles of adjacent sides. Plates can be snapped together in any orientation, as long as the track is continuous.
