Answer:
The answer is below
Step-by-step explanation:
Let Y represent the profit per day, and x represent the number of bar sold per day. Hence:
Y = 0.25x - 2
a) The mean is given as:

b) The standard deviation of y is:

It could be The 4.0 cm would be the base and 2.8cm would be the length upwards
Assuming no border or waste, 9m by 16 m translates to 29.52' x 52.49'.
use 32/8=4 sheets of plywood to cover the width on the 8' side.
For the length, use 52/4=13 pieces on the 4' side.
This gives a total of 4*13=52 sheets.
The extra 0.49' x 29.52 can be covered using the extra from the last four sheets for the width.
Check:
Area to be covered: 29.52*52.49=1550 sq. ft.
Area of plywood supplied = 52*4'x8'= 1664 sq. ft, > 1550 sq.ft.
100 - 3(3y - 4x) = 100 - 3(18 - 16) = 100 - 3(2) = 100 - 6 = 94
