Here are the solutions to your questions:

: Statistics
The table shows the number of children per house and the frequency (number of houses).

No. of children (x)No. of houses (f)fxCumulative Frequency (cf)
0202
1335
2489
351514
41415
50015
Total∑f=15\sum f = 15∑fx=30\sum fx = 30
  1. Find the mode.

    The mode is the value with the highest frequency. From the table, the highest frequency is 5, which corresponds to 3 children.
    The mode is 3 children\boxed{\text{3 children}}.

  2. Find the median.

    The total number of houses is ∑f=15\sum f = 15. The position of the median is N+12\frac{N+1}{2}, where NN is the total frequency.
    Median position =15+12=162=8th= \frac{15+1}{2} = \frac{16}{2} = 8^{th} position.
    Looking at the cumulative frequency, the 8th value falls in the category of 2 children (since the cumulative frequency reaches 5 at 1 child, and 9 at 2 children).
    The median is 2 children\boxed{\text{2 children}}.

  3. Find the mean.

    The mean is calculated as ∑fx∑f\frac{\sum fx}{\sum f}.
    Mean =3015=2= \frac{30}{15} = 2.
    The mean is 2 children\boxed{\text{2 children}}.

    : Geometry
    Given the diagram with triangle PST and line segment MN parallel to ST.
    Given: PM=5PM = 5 cm, MS=10MS = 10 cm.
    There is a typo in the problem statement "RN = 8cm". Based on the diagram and typical similar triangle problems, we will assume 'RN' is a typo for 'PN', so PN=8PN = 8 cm.

  4. Name the triangle similar to triangle PST.

    Since MN is parallel to ST, by the property of similar triangles, △PMN\triangle PMN is similar to △PST\triangle PST.
    The triangle similar to △PST\triangle PST is △PMN\boxed{\triangle PMN}.

  5. Find the length of NT.

    First, calculate the length of PS:

    PS=PM+MS=5 cm+10 cm=15 cmPS = PM + MS = 5 \text{ cm} + 10 \text{ cm} = 15 \text{ cm}

    Since △PMN∼△PST\triangle PMN \sim \triangle PST, the ratio of corresponding sides is equal:

    PMPS=PNPT\frac{PM}{PS} = \frac{PN}{PT}

    Substitute the known values:

    515=8PT\frac{5}{15} = \frac{8}{PT}

    Simplify the ratio:

    13=8PT\frac{1}{3} = \frac{8}{PT}

    Solve for PT:

    PT=3×8=24 cmPT = 3 \times 8 = 24 \text{ cm}

    Now, find NT:

    NT=PT−PN=24 cm−8 cm=16 cmNT = PT - PN = 24 \text{ cm} - 8 \text{ cm} = 16 \text{ cm}

    The length of NT is 16 cm\boxed{\text{16 cm}}.

    : Vectors
    Given: AB⃗=(3−4)\vec{AB} = \begin{pmatrix} 3 \\ -4 \end{pmatrix} and BC⃗=(64)\vec{BC} = \begin{pmatrix} 6 \\ 4 \end{pmatrix}.

  6. Express AC⃗\vec{AC} as a column vector.

    Using the triangle law of vector addition, AC⃗=AB⃗+BC⃗\vec{AC} = \vec{AB} + \vec{BC}.

  7. Substitute the given column vectors and perform the addition.

    AC⃗=(3−4)+(64)\vec{AC} = \begin{pmatrix} 3 \\ -4 \end{pmatrix} + \begin{pmatrix} 6 \\ 4 \end{pmatrix} AC⃗=(3+6−4+4)\vec{AC} = \begin{pmatrix} 3+6 \\ -4+4 \end{pmatrix} AC⃗=(90)\vec{AC} = \begin{pmatrix} 9 \\ 0 \end{pmatrix}

    The column vector for AC⃗\vec{AC} is (90)\boxed{\begin{pmatrix} 9 \\ 0 \end{pmatrix}}.
