New streetlights will be installed along a section of the highway. The posts for the streetlights will be 7.5 m tall and made of

aluminium. The city can choose to buy the posts shaped like rectangular prisms. The cylindrical posts have a hollow core, with aluminium 2.5 cm thick, and an outer diameter of 53.4 cm. The rectangular-prism posts have a hollow core, with aluminium 2.5 cm thick, and a square base that measures 40 cm on each side.
The density of aluminium is 2.7 g/cm³, and the cost of aluminium is $0.38 per kilogram.
Part A: if all posts must be the same shape, which post design will cost the town less?
Part B: How much money will be saved per streetlight post design will cost the town less?

First, we determine the volumes of the posts may it be cylindrical in shape or rectangular prism. 

(A) cylindrical:
                         ( π(26.7/100)² - π(24.2/100)²)*(7.5) = 0.3 m³
(B) rectangular prism:
                          (40/100)²(7.5) - (35/100)²(7.5) = 0.28125 m³

Then, we calculate for the amount of substance
 (A) cylindrical:   (0.3 m³)(2700 kg/m³) = 810 kg
 (B) rectangular prism : (0.28125 m³)(2700 kg/m³) = 759.375 kg

Then, calculate for the costs
 (A) (810 kg)($0.38/kg) = $307.8
 (B) (759.375 kg)($0.38/kg) = $288.56

Thus, the answer for A is rectangular post 
B. About $19.24 can be saved.

Tammy conducted a survey to find the favorite subject of the students at her school. She asked 25 students from her math class w
almond37 [142]
Tammy's sample may not be considered valid because, on the first hand, it is said that she only asked students from her " Math Class". 
If she wants to have a survey to find out the favorite subject of the students at her school, she must conduct a survey involving all the students in her school, not just in her class. What she did is just subjective. She should use a tally listing the different subjects and compare the number of students per subject. This way, she can have an objective representation of the least liked subjects and the most liked subjects of the students on her school.
Illustrating her survey through statistics may be more reliable and valid because it shows frequencies in which she can calculate easily and accurately the percentage of  the number of students per subject, in a more objective manner.
