Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the number of units the average worker can be expected to assemble in the third hour of the morning shift, we need to plug in t=3 in the given equation:

Rate of assembling = 11e^(0.01t) units/hour 
= 11e^(0.01*3) units/hour 
= 11e^(0.03) units/hour

Using a calculator, we get: 
Rate of assembling = 11.34 units/hour (rounded to the nearest whole unit)

Therefore, the best choice is C, which gives the closest rounded value of 11.34 as 11eaa8b1_da99_78e5_b1b6_87fe5540eb42_TB6026_11 units.
