each buy a ticket. Each ticket costs $1.60. Calculate the total amount received
from selling the tickets.

students on the committee there are

(i) The mode is the data which appears most often, ie the data with the
highest frequency, so that here we have: mode=4.
(ii) The median is the data “in the middle”. If the list has an odd number of
data, the median is the data with rank . If the list has an even
number of data, the median is the average of the data with ranks
and ⁄ .
In the case at hand, the number of data is 40, so that the median is the
average of the data with ranks 20 and 21, so that median .

Solution
(a) The distance between the vertices of T’ (image of T under the enlargement) and
the origin O is half of the distance between the corresponding vertices of T and
the origin O (see diagram below).
The image of T is the Triangle T’ with vertices .

(iii) Here we have to take into account that the black ball can come from Box

goes to show that it’s safer to always show your working.

Each car requires 20 of space and each truck requires 100 of space.

On the grid, show the three inequalities by drawing the other two lines and shading
the unwanted regions.

(d) Use your graph to find the largest possible number of trucks.
[1]
(e) The company charges $5 for parking each car and $10 for parking each truck.
Find the number of cars and the number of trucks which give the company the
greatest possible income.
(a) Since each car requires 20 of space and each truck requires 100 of
space, and since the space taken by the cars and trucks must be less than the
available space of 1200 , we get
(b)
(i) Since there must be at least 40 vehicles (vehicles means cars and trucks),
we get
(c) The line which has been drawn passes through the points (0,12) and (60,0), so
that it is the line of equation . To complete the graphs, we draw the
lines of equations and (see diagram below).
Since none of the inequalities are strict (ie we have as opposed to <), the lines
drawn on the diagram are not included in the unwanted regions (ie the lines are
part of the region we want).
(d) The point indicating the largest number of trucks is the point inside the unshaded
area with the highest y-coordinate (see diagram below). The largest number of
trucks is therefore 5.
Even though trucks have to pay more, there are far more cars than trucks, so
that the highest possible income is given by the point in the unshaded area with
the greatest x-coordinate. This point has coordinates (50,2) so that the number of
cars and trucks maximizing the income are 50 and 2, respectively (see diagram).
The maximal possible income is therefore .
(a) Diagram 5 has been started below. Complete this diagram and write down the
information about the numbers of dots and lines.

Here we have
The number of black dots increases by 2 from one diagram to the next, so that
the number of black dots for diagram is a sequence of the form ,
where is a constant real number.
We find this number by noticing that is the number of black dots in diagram 1,
which is equal to 5, so that and .
