Section A
(1) Write the corresponding quadratic equation in standard form.
[1 Marks](2) Find the value of x, the length of side of a tile by factorisation.
[2 Marks](3) Assuming the original length of each side of a tile be x units, make a quadratic equation from the above information.
[1 Marks](4) Solve the quadratic equation for x, using quadratic formula.
[2 Marks]BINGO is a game of chance. The box has 75 balls numbered 1 through 75. Each card has some numbers written on it. The participant cancels the number on the card when called out a number written on the ball selected at random. Whoever cancels all the numbers on his/her card says BINGO and wins the game. The table below shows data of one such game where 48 balls were used before Tara said ‘BINGO’.
Based on the above information, answer the following :
(1) Write the median class.
[1 Marks](2) When the first ball was picked up, what was the probability of calling out an even number?
[1 Marks](3) Find the median of the given data.
[2 Marks](4) Find the mode of the given data.
