What is the difference in longitude between P (lat. 50°N. long. 50°W) and Q (lat.50°N, long. 150°W)?

A.

300o

B.

200o

C.

130o

D.

100o

E.

30o

Correct answer is D

Let \(\theta\) be the angular difference between P (50°N. 50°W), and Q (50°N, 150°W),

\(\theta\) = 150° - 50° =100°

The mean score is

A.

1.75

B.

2

C.

2.5

D.

2.75

E.

3

Correct answer is D

Score 0 1 2 3 4 5 Total
Freq 2 3 4 2 7 2 20
\(fx\) 0 3 8 6 28 10 55

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

= \(\frac{55}{20}\)

= \(2.75\)
