Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
If 10 concrete cubes are tested and the average compressive strength is 25 MPa, but one cube shows 18 MPa, evaluate whether this indicates poor quality or valid variability.
💡 Hint: Think about quality control and averages.
Imagine you are reviewing a project that employed a new concrete mix design. The compressive strength tests are consistently revealing higher values than previous projects. What factors could explain this difference?
💡 Hint: Consider how changes in input affect output.
