(a) Find the volume of a right solid cone of base radius 4cm and perpendicular height 6cm. [\(\pi = 3.142\)]
(b) A hemispherical tank of diameter which is 10m is filled by water issuing from a pipe of radius 20cm at 2m per second. Calculate, correct to three significant figures, the time, in minutes, it takes to fill the tank.
The weights to the nearest kilogram, of a group of 50 students in a College of Technology are given below:
65, 70, 60, 46, 51, 55, 59, 63, 68, 53, 47, 53, 72, 53, 67, 62, 64, 70, 57, 56, 73, 56, 48, 51, 58, 63, 65, 62, 49, 64, 53, 59, 63, 50, 48, 72, 67, 56, 61, 64, 66, 52, 49, 62, 71, 58, 53, 69, 63, 59.
(a) Prepare a grouped fraquency table with class intervals 45 - 49, 50 - 54, 55 - 59 etc.
(b) Using an assumed mean of 62 or otherwise, calculate the mean and standard deviation of the grouped data, correct to one decimal place.
(a) ABCD is a trapezium in which AB // DC, |AB| = 8cm, < ABC = 60°, |BC| = 5.5cm and |BD| = 8.3cm. Using a ruler and a pair of compasses only, construct:
(i) the trapezium ABCD ; (ii) a rectangle PQCD, where P, Q are two points AB;
(b) Measure |AB| and |QB|.
(a) If a number is chosen at random from the integers 5 to 25 inclusive, find the probability that the number is a multiple of 5 or 3.
(b) A bag contains 10 balls that differ only in colour; 4 are blue and 6 are red. Two balls are picked one after the other, with replacement. What is the probability that:
(i) both are red? (ii) both are the same colour?
The following is an incomplete table for the relation \(y = 2x^{2} - 5x + 1\)
| x | -3 | -2 | -1 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
| y | 8 | 1 | -1 | 26 |
(a) Copy and complete the table.
(b) Using a scale of 2cm to 1 unit on the x- axis and 2cm to 10 units on the y- axis, draw the graph of the relation \(y = 2x^{2} - 5x + 1\) for \(-3 \leq x \leq 5\).
(c) Using the same scale and axes, draw the graph of \(y = x + 6\).
(d) Estimate from your graphs, correct to one decimal place : (i) the least value of y and the value of x for which it occurs ; (ii) the solution of the equation \(2x^{2} - 5x + 1 = x + 6\).
