Frage 4 Bericht
The table shown gives the marks scored by a group of student in a test. Use the table to answer the question given.
| Mark | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
| Frequency | 1 | 2 | 7 | 5 | 4 | 3 |
What is the median mark?
Antwortdetails
Median is the middle number
= Nth2
Term = 22th2 = 11th term
Going in ascending order, 11th term is 3, going in descending order 11th term is 3
Median = 3 + 32 = 62 = 3

Frage 10 Bericht
A trader realises 10x - x\(^{2}\) Naira profit from the sale of x bags of corn. How many bags will give him the maximum profit?
Antwortdetails
Maximum profit can be achieved when the differential of profit with respect to number of bags(x) is 0
i.e. δpδx = 0
δpδx = 10 - 2x = 0
10 = 2x
Then x = 102 = 5

Frage 20 Bericht
If \( P = \left[\frac{Q(R-T)}{15}\right]^{\frac{1}{3}} \) make T the subject of the relation
Antwortdetails
P3 = Q(R−T)15
Cross multiplying
15P3 = Q(R - T)
Divide both sides by Q
15P3Q = R - T
Rearranging gives
T = R - 15P3Q
= RQ−15P3Q
Frage 21 Bericht
The figure below is a Venn diagram showing the elements arranged within sets A, B, C, \( \epsilon \).
Use the figure to answer this question
What is \( n((A \cup B)^c) \)?
Antwortdetails
B = (r, s, t, u)
A U B = Elements in both A and B = (p, q, r, s, t, u, v)
(A U B)1 = elements in the universal set E but not in (A U B)= (w, x, y, z)
n(A U B) 1 = number of the elements in (A U B)1 = 4

Frage 25 Bericht
if \(y = 23_{\mathit{five}} + 101_{\mathit{three}}\) find y leaving your answer in base two
Antwortdetails
23five = 2 x 51 + 3 x 50
= 10 + 3 = 13
101five = (1 x 32) + (0 x 31) + (1 x 30)
= 9 + 0 + 1 = 10
So, y = 13 + 10 = 23
To convert 23 to base 2 (as in the diagram above)
y = 23
= 10111five
Frage 26 Bericht
Antwortdetails
= 90100 x 20000 =18000
At the end of second year, its value = 90% of 18000
= 90100 x 18000 = ₦16,200
Frage 27 Bericht
Antwortdetails
Using 90 as the angle for transport
So, x + 2x + 120 + 90 = 360
3x + 210 = 3605
3x = 360 - 210
= 150
x = 1503 = 50
So the angle for housing is 2x = 2 × 50
= 100
Amount spent on housing = 100360 × 7200
= ₦2000

Frage 38 Bericht
Solve for t in the equation \( \frac{3}{4}t + \frac{1}{3}(21 - t) = 11 \)
Antwortdetails
Multiply through by the LCM of 4 and 3 which is 12
12 x(34 t) + 12 x (13 (21 - t)) = (11 x 12)
9t + 4(21 - t) = 132
9t + 84 - 4t = 132
5t + 84 = 132
5t = 132 - 84 = 48
t = 485
t = 9 35
Frage 39 Bericht
In the figure below, /MX/ = 8cm, /XN/ = 12cm, /NZ/ = 4cm and ∠ XMN = ∠ XZY. Calculate /YM/
Antwortdetails
∠ XMN = ∠ XZY
Angle X is common
So, ∠ XNM = ∠ XYZ
Then from the angle relationship
XMXZ = XNXY = MNZY
XM = 8, XZ = 12 + 4 = 16,
XN = 12, XY = 8 + YM
816 = 12(8+YM)
Cross multiply
8(8 + YM) = 192
64 + 8YM = 192
8YM = 128
YM = 1288
= 16cm
