Estimating Production Data
An economist is analyzing a farm's production data but has discovered a missing entry for the total output when 30 workers are employed. Based on the trends observable in the rest of the data, provide a reasonable estimate for the missing total output value and briefly justify your estimate by describing the production pattern.

Diminishing Average Product of Labor Evidenced by Tabular Data
A farm's grain production is recorded in the table below, showing the total output for a given number of workers.
Number of Workers Total Output (kg) 1 100 2 220 3 300 4 360 At which point does the addition of another worker first result in a lower average output per worker compared to the previous level?
