Q5. The table below shows the frequency distribution of a data. If the mean is 4, find x + y. [x: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5] [f: 2, 1, 2, 1, x+y]
A2
B3
C4
D5
Correct Answer: A
Mean = Σ(fx)/Σf. Σ(fx) = 1×2 + 2×1 + 3×2 + 4×1 + 5(x+y) = 14 + 5(x+y). Σf = 6 + x + y. Mean = 4: (14 + 5(x+y))/(6 + x + y) = 4, 14 + 5x + 5y = 24 + 4x + 4y, x + y = 2.

Q9. Find the equation of the tangent at the point (2, 0) to the curve y = x2 - 2x
Ay = 2x - 4
By = 2x + 4
Cy = 2x - 2
Dy = 2x + 2
Correct Answer: A
The gradient to the curve is found by differentiating the curve equation with respect to x So dy/dx 2x - 2 The gradient of the curve is the same with that of the tangent. At point (2, 0) dy/dx = 2(2) - 2 = 4 – 2 = 2 The equation of the tangent is given by (y - y1) dy/dx (x – x1) At point (x1, y1) = (2, 0) y - 0 = 2(x - 2) y = 2x - 4

Q11. For the data set: 3, 5, 7, 9, 5, the mean deviation is
A1.6
B2.0
C2.4
D3.0
Correct Answer: A
Mean = (3+5+7+9+5)/5 = 5.8. Absolute deviations: |3-5.8|=2.8, |5-5.8|=0.8, |7-5.8|=1.2, |9-5.8|=3.2, |5-5.8|=0.8. Mean deviation = (2.8+0.8+1.2+3.2+0.8)/5 = 1.6.
