General Idea:

We need to find the volume of the small cube given the side length of the small cube as 1/4 inch.

Also we need to find the volume of the right rectangular prism with the given dimension (the height is 4 1/2, the width is 5, and the length is 3 3/4).

To find the number of small cubes that are needed to completely fill the right rectangular prism, we need to divide volume of right rectangular prism by volume of each small cube.

Formula Used:

Volume \; of \; Cube = a^3 \; \\\{where \; a \; is \; side \; length \; of \; cube\}\\\\Volume \; of  \; Right \; Rectangular  \; Prism=L \times W \times H\\\{Where  \; L \; is \; Length, \; W \; is \; Width, \;and  \; H \; is \; Height\}

Applying the concept:

Volume of Small Cube:

V_{cube}= (\frac{1}{4}  )^3= \frac{1}{64} \; in^3\\\\V_{Prism}=  3 \frac{3}{4}  \times 5 \times  4 \frac{1}{2}  = \frac{15}{4}  \times \frac{5}{1}  \times \frac{9}{2}  = \frac{675}{8}  \\\\Number \; of \; small \; cubes= \frac{V_{Prism}}{V_{Cube}}   = \frac{675}{8}  \div \frac{1}{64}  \\\\Flip \; the \; second \; fraction\; and \; multiply \; with \; the \; first \; fraction\\\\Number \; of \; small \; cubes \;= \frac{675}{8} \times \frac{64}{1}   = 5400

Conclusion:

The number of small cubes with side length as 1/4 inches that are needed to completely fill the right rectangular prism whose height is 4 1/2 inches, width is 5 inches, and length is 3 3/4 inches is <em><u>5400 </u></em>

Ten experts rated a newly developed chocolate chip cookie on a scale of 1 to 50. Their ratings were: 34, 35, 41, 28, 26, 29, 32,
miskamm [114]

The mean deviation of the ratings is  4.12

<em><u>Explanation</u></em>

The ratings of the ten experts are:  34, 35, 41, 28, 26, 29, 32, 36, 38 and 40

So, the mean of all ratings =\frac{34+35+41+28+26+29+32+36+38+40}{10}= \frac{339}{10}=33.9

<u>The formula for Mean deviation</u> = \sum \frac{|x_{i}- \mu|}{N} , where x_{i} is the given data from i=1 to i=10 , \mu is the mean of the data and N is the total number of data. So.....

|x_{1}-\mu |= |34-33.9|=0.1\\ |x_{2}-\mu|=|35-33.9|=1.1\\ |x_{3}-\mu |=|41-33.9|=7.1\\ |x_{4}-\mu |=|28-33.9|=5.9\\ |x_{5}-\mu |=|26-33.9|=7.9\\ |x_{6}-\mu |=|29-33.9|=4.9\\|x_{7}-\mu |=|32-33.9|=1.9\\ |x_{8}-\mu |=|36-33.9|=2.1\\ |x_{9}-\mu |=|38-33.9|=4.1\\ |x_{10}-\mu |=|40-33.9|=6.1

So, the Mean deviation =\sum \frac{|x_{i}-\mu |}{N}=\frac{0.1+1.1+7.1+5.9+7.9+4.9+1.9+2.1+4.1+6.1}{10} = \frac{41.2}{10}=4.12
