Prepare a steel and steel joist materials list for the roof-framing plan shown in Figure 13.19 and determine the number of pounds of joists, beams, and columns that need to be purchased for the roof. The columns are 15 feet high and weigh 58 pounds per foot.
What will be an ideal response?
Solution: From Figure 13-10, the joist weight 9.0 pound per foot.
Weight (lbs) = 5,396 lbs + 5,092 lbs + 848 lbs + 3,960 lbs + 432 lbs + 2,025 lbs + 6,960 lbs
Weight (tons) = 24,713 lbs / 2,000 lbs per ton = 12.36 tons

The article “Treadmill Exercise and Resistance Training in Patients With Peripheral Arterial Disease With and Without Intermittent Claudication. A Randomized Controlled Trial” reported the results of a study to determine whether treadmill exercise could improve the walking ability of patients suffering from claudication, which is pain caused by insufficient blood flow to the muscles of the legs. A sample of 48 patients walked on a treadmill for six minutes every day. After six months, the mean distance walked in six minutes was 348m, with a standard deviation of 80m. For a control group of 46 patients who did not walk on a treadmill, the mean distance was 309 m with a standard deviation of 89 m. Find a 95% confidence interval for the difference in mean distance walked between the two
groups of patients. What will be an ideal response?
