Question: A contractor is going to cast a slab - on - grade for a large family house. To cast a 2 0 0 mm thick

A contractor is going to cast a slab-on-grade for a large family house. To cast a 200 mm thick and 500 m2 large slab, she estimates that a total volume of 100 m3 concrete is needed. However, the base underneath the slab is not completely even. Anticipate that the needed concrete volume is N(100; 5) m3. The concrete will be delivered from a ready mix concrete plant by a number n of truck mixers. Assume that every truck mixer delivers a volume that can be assumed to be normal distributed expressed by N(6; 0,6) m3. These volumes are considered to be independent from each other. Determine the smallest number n that leads to a sufficient total concrete volume with a failure probability limited to p =0,05.
