simultaneous eqns & concrete strength
Not what you're looking for?
1. Solve graphically the following simultaneous equations:
y = 10 - 2x
y = x - 1
2. Plot the graph of: y = x^2 - 2x - 4 for values of x from x = -2 to x = 4 at intervals of 1 and use the graph to solve the quadratic equation x^2 - 2x - 4 = 0.
3. The following grouped frequency table shows the compressive strength of 30 concrete cubes at age 7 days.
Compressive Strength (NM/m^2) Frequency
21.0-22.9 3
23.0-24.9 6
25.0-26.9 14
27.0-28.9 5
29.0-30.9 2
a) Draw a histogram to represent this data
b) Calculate the mean and the standard deviation of the data to 2 decimal places
c) Draw the cumulative frequency graph for the data
d) Find from the graph the median of the data
5. Ten concrete cubes were prepared and tested by crushing in compression at 28 days from different sites A and B. The table below shows the following crushing strengths (in N/mm^2) were obtained.
Find and compare the mean and standard deviations and comment on the results.
Site A Site B
43.3 44.6
46.2 46.2
41.1 42.2
38.5 40.4
46.2 47.4
45.6 46.3
42.7 44.7
48.6 48.5
44.1 45.3
41.6 42.8
This task provides evidence for grading criteria M3.

- " In question 2, you incorrectly add in the $3.00 dividend that was just paid to determine the value of the stock price using the dividend discount model. In question 4 response, it should have also been recognized that dividend discount models are not useful if any of the parameters used in the model are inaccurate. "
