You want to put a 3 inch thick layer of topsoil for a new 23 ft by 24 ft garden. The dirt store sells by the cubic yards. How many cubic yards will you need to order? The store only sells in increments of 1/4 cubic
yards.
cubic yards

46 Yards or 184 Orders of 1/4 Cubic Yards

So first you need to find the area of the plot; 552. Then you need to find out how much soil you will need. There are 12 inches in a foot so if you have 3 inches you have .25 of a foot. So you multiply 552 by .25 and get 138. 138 is how many cubic feet you need. Therefore, you need to divide this number by 3 in order to convert this to yards (3 feet in a yard). This will bring you to 46. Finally, we need to multiply this number by 4 because they only sell in 1/4 cubic yards.

In the given histogram, the shape of the histogram shows that the shape of the distribution exhibits symmetry (i.e. the shorter bars are to the left and to the right while the longer bars are in the middle). Adding the sales of cars priced under $5,000 and cars priced $45,000 to $50,000 with projected sales of 200 cars for each category will result in adding bars of the same size as the shortest bar to both ends of the histogram. This will not affect the initial shape of the distribution in the histogram as the distribution will still exhibit symmetry. Therefore, the correct answer to the question is "the distribution will exhibit symmetry" (option a).
