The following table shows, for a certain manufacturing plant, the number W of widgets, in thousands, produced in a day as a function of n, the number of full-time workers. X W =Thousands of widgets produced 25.0 37.8 n = Number of workers 10 20 30 43.2 46.9 48.1 40 50 Make a table showing, for each of the 10-worker intervals, the average rate of change in W per worker. (Round your answers to two decimal places.) Step 1 The average yearly rate of change is given by Change in W Change in workers Average rate of change = For each of the four intervals we use Change in workers -10 10 Step 2 For each interval we get the change in W by taking the ending value less the beginning value. (Round your answers to one decimal place.) Change from 10 to 20 W(20) W( = 37.8- Change from 20 to 30 W(30) -W 43.2 Change from 30 to 40 W40) - W = 46,9- Type here to search
