In the diagram, MN//PO, < PMN = 112o, < PNO = 129oo and < MPN = yo. Find the value of y

A.

51o

B.

54o

C.

56o

D.

68o

Correct answer is B

In \(\bigtriangleup\) NPO + PNO + PNO + < NOP = 180o(sum of interior angles of a \(\bigtriangleup\) )

i.e. NPO + 129 + 37 = 180

< NOP = 180 - (129 + 37) = 14o

< MNP = < NOP = 14o (alt. < s)

In \(\bigtriangleup\) MPN

< PMN + < MNP + y = 180(sum of interior angles of a \(\bigtriangleup\))

i.e. 112 + 14 + y = 180o

y = 180 - (112 + 14) = 180 - 126 = 54o

The bar chart shows the frequency distribution of marks scored by students in a class test. What is the median of the distribution?

A.

2

B.

4

C.

6

D.

8

Correct answer is A

median = (\(\frac{N + 1}{2}\))th = (\(\frac{25 + 1}{2}\))th

= \(\frac{26th}{2}\)

= 13th

the 13th is 2

The bar chart shows the frequency distribution of marks scored by students in a class test. Calculate the mean of the distribution.

A.

6.0

B.

3.0

C.

2.4

D.

1.8

Correct answer is C

\(\begin{array}{c|c} x & f & fx\\ \hline 1 & 6 & 6 \\
2 & 8 & 16\\ 3 & 8 & 18\\ 4 & 5 & 20\end{array}\)

mean x = \(\frac{\sum fx}{\sum f}\)

= \(\frac{60}{25}\)

x = 2.4
