If each linear dimension is scaled by a factor of 10, then the area is scaled by a factor of 100. This is because 10^2 = 10*10 = 100. Consider a 3x3 square with area of 9. If we scaled the square by a linear factor of 10 then it's now a 30x30 square with area 900. The ratio of those two areas is 900/9 = 100. This example shows how the area is 100 times larger.
Going back to the problem at hand, we have the initial surface area of 16 square inches. The box is scaled up so that each dimension is 10 times larger, so the new surface area is 100 times what it used to be
New surface area = 100*(old surface area)
new surface area = 100*16
new surface area = 1600
Final Answer: 1600 square inches

Complete question:
Assume that different groups of couples use a particular method of gender selection and each couple gives birth to one baby this mention is designed to increase the likelihood that each baby will be a girl, but assume that the method has no effect so the probability of a girl is 0.5. Assume that the group consists of 36 couples.
A) Find the mean and standard deviation for the number of girls in groups of 36 births.
B) Use the range rule of thumb to find the values separating results that are significantly low and significantly high.
C) Is the result of 33 girls significantly high? A result of 33 girls would suggest the method is effective or is not effective?
Answer:
a) mean = 18
Standard deviation =3
b) low range = 12
High range = 24
c) The result of 33 girls is significantly high. Yes, the method is effective.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
p = 0.5
n = 36
a) The mean is the product of n and p
Mean u = np
u = 36 * 0.5 = 18
The standard deviation is the square root of the product of n and p&q.
S.d ó = 


b) To find the range rule of thumb:
• For low range
Low range = u - 2ó
= 18 - (2 * 3)
= 12
• High range
= u + 2ó
= 18 + (2*3)
= 24
c) The result is significantly high, because 33 is greater than 24 girls.
A result of 33 girls would prove the method as effective.
