The mode is the data which appears most often, ie the data with the
highest frequency, so that here we have: mode=4.
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).

space, and since the space taken by the cars and trucks must be less than the
available space of 1200

We shade the unwanted areas:
- the area below the line

.
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

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
