18 b) Earth ' s distance from Sun = 1.5 10^8 km
converting this to metres by multipling it with 1000 = 1.5 x 10^11
Converting it to terametres dividing by 10^12 = 0.15 terametres..

24 a i) first find Cf (cummulative frequency) for all number of books. this is done by adding frequencies.
e.g. Cf for 0 books wil be 10
CF for 1 book will be (10 + 11) 21
CF for 2 books will be (21 + 8) 29 and so on
median is (n+1)/2 value
n is total frequency .... it comes 50
median = 51/2 = 25.5 th value
now look in whch CF does this value lie
It lies in 29 so median will be 2 books

12(b) BA = 3a -2c
OP= 2a- 4c/3

take comman= BA=3(a-2c/3)
OP=2(a-2c/3)

since the vectors are in the form k(x+y) they are parallel. as long as they are multiples of the same vector they are always parallel.

12(c) Sorry I have no idea about this one.

18 (b) nothing can be simpler than this! just divide by 10^12 so 1.5 x 10^8/10^12

answer will be 1.5 x 10^-4 or 1.5/10^4

24 (a) (i)

Number of Books = x
Frequency = f

formula for mean is sum of fx/sum of f.

so take fx
0*10+1*1+2*8+3*3+4*6... and so on.

and then divide it by sum of all the frequencies which is mentioned in the question (50 students)

you should now get the answer! won't calculate it .. will leave it to you.

15 (c) range is always the largest value - smallest value .. so in this case convert everything to seconds first .. 240-75 = 165 seconds .. which equals 2 minutes 45 seconds.

18 (b) ii its again ratios of areas .. which I don't know. Sorry.

see my post they would help u

15 c) range is largest time - smallest time
i.e. 4*60 - 75 = 165 seconds = 2mins 45 secs

18 b i ) PU : PV = 1 : 3 (i think u got it becox u didnt asked this )
bii) Ratio of triangles PST : PQR = 1 : 9
this means that PST represents 1/9 of PQR and rest of the trapezium shows 8/9 of PQR

so PQR : STRQ = 9 : 8
