1) A project specifies a concrete strength of at least 3000 psi. Materials engineers will design the mix for a strength higher than that. Calculate the required average compressive strength of the mix design if the standard deviation is s = 350 psi. Estimate the modulus of elasticity of the concrete at the required average compressive strength (the calculated strength, not the given strength).
