The associative property of addition is pretty much just any numbers in place of these: a + (b + c) = (a + b) + c. Therefore, your answer would be d) (6 + 1) + 9 = 6 + (1 + 9)

First, determine how many standard deviations from the norm that 3 tons are. So:
(3 - 2.43) / 0.88 = 0.57/0.88 = 0.647727273
So 3 tons would be 0.647727273 deviations from the norm. Now using a standard normal table, lookup the value 0.65 (the table I'm using has z-values to only 2 decimal places, so I rounded the z-value I got from 0.647727273 to 0.65). The value I got is 0.24215. Now this value is the probability of getting a value between the mean and the z-score. What I want is the probability of getting that z-score and anything higher. So subtract the value from 0.5, so 0.5 - 0.24215 = 0.25785 = 25.785%
So the probability that more than 3 tons will be dumped in a week is 25.8%

Break it down into 2-Dimensional shapes. Then add the areas together.
From the picture you can see;
front & back rectangles are 2*(4 x 8) = 64 m²
2 side rectangles are 2*(4 x 12) = 56 m²
2 triangular front & back pieces are (1/2)*8*3 = 12 m²
2 roof rectangles are 2*(5 x 12) = 120 m²
total Surface area = 64 m² + 56 m² + 12 m² + 120 m²
= 252 m²
For the volume; break it up into 3-dimenssional shapes and add the volumes together.
From the picture you can see;
Rectangular box volume is 4 x 8 x 12 = 384 m³
Triangular roof volume is area of front triangle multiplied through the length. (1/2)*8*3* 12 = 144 m³
Total volume = 384 m³ + 144 m³
= 528 m³
