we are given

where
F is the number of board feet
d is the diameter (in inches) of the log
Since, we have to minimize F
so, firstly we will find it's derivative


now, we can set it to 0
and then we can solve for d


so, we get diameter as

Answer:
The sampling distribution of the sample mean of size 30 will be approximately normal with mean 15 and standard deviation 2.19.
Step-by-step explanation:
The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean
and standard deviation
, the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean
and standard deviation
.
For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.
For the population, we have that:
Mean = 15
Standard deviaiton = 12
Sample of 30
By the Central Limit Theorem
Mean 15
Standard deviation 
Approximately normal
The sampling distribution of the sample mean of size 30 will be approximately normal with mean 15 and standard deviation 2.19.
51/100
Explain: you start with 51/100 and that can’t be simplified any further :) hope this helped
