Find the value of x in the diagram.

  1. Identify the parallel lines and transversals.

    The arrows indicate two parallel lines.

  2. Draw an auxiliary line through the vertex of angle xx that is parallel to the two given parallel lines.

    This divides angle xx into two parts, let's call them α\alpha and β\beta.

  3. Use the property of alternate interior angles.

    The angle 35∘35^\circ is an alternate interior angle to the upper part of xx. So, α=35∘\alpha = 35^\circ.
    The angle 130∘130^\circ is an exterior angle. The interior angle adjacent to it is 180∘−130∘=50∘180^\circ - 130^\circ = 50^\circ. This 50∘50^\circ angle is an alternate interior angle to the lower part of xx. So, β=50∘\beta = 50^\circ.

  4. Add the two parts to find xx.

    x=α+βx = \alpha + \beta x=35∘+50∘x = 35^\circ + 50^\circ x=85∘x = 85^\circ

    The final answer is C. 85∘\boxed{\text{C. } 85^\circ}.

    48. Find the median.

  5. Calculate the total number of students (∑f\sum f).

    ∑f=2+1+4+3+8+5+4+3=30\sum f = 2 + 1 + 4 + 3 + 8 + 5 + 4 + 3 = 30
  6. Determine the position of the median.

    Since the total number of students is even (N=30N=30), the median is the average of the N2\frac{N}{2}-th and (N2+1)(\frac{N}{2} + 1)-th values.

    N2=302=15\frac{N}{2} = \frac{30}{2} = 15 N2+1=15+1=16\frac{N}{2} + 1 = 15 + 1 = 16

    So, we need the 15th and 16th values.

  7. Create a cumulative frequency table to find the values.

    • For 1 subject: 2 students (CF = 2)
    • For 2 subjects: 1 student (CF = 2 + 1 = 3)
    • For 3 subjects: 4 students (CF = 3 + 4 = 7)
    • For 4 subjects: 3 students (CF = 7 + 3 = 10)
    • For 5 subjects: 8 students (CF = 10 + 8 = 18) The 15th and 16th values both fall within the "5 subjects" category, as the cumulative frequency reaches 18 at this point.
  8. Calculate the median.

    Median=5+52=102=5\text{Median} = \frac{5 + 5}{2} = \frac{10}{2} = 5

    The final answer is B. 5\boxed{\text{B. } 5}.

    49. Calculate the mean of the distribution.

  9. Calculate the sum of the product of the number of subjects (xx) and the number of students (ff), i.e., ∑(x⋅f)\sum (x \cdot f).

    ∑(x⋅f)=(1×2)+(2×1)+(3×4)+(4×3)+(5×8)+(6×5)+(7×4)+(8×3)\sum (x \cdot f) = (1 \times 2) + (2 \times 1) + (3 \times 4) + (4 \times 3) + (5 \times 8) + (6 \times 5) + (7 \times 4) + (8 \times 3) ∑(x⋅f)=2+2+12+12+40+30+28+24\sum (x \cdot f) = 2 + 2 + 12 + 12 + 40 + 30 + 28 + 24 ∑(x⋅f)=150\sum (x \cdot f) = 150
  10. Use the formula for the mean of a frequency distribution

    Mean=∑(x⋅f)∑f\text{Mean} = \frac{\sum (x \cdot f)}{\sum f}.
    We already found ∑f=30\sum f = 30 in question 48.

  11. Calculate the mean.

    Mean=15030=5\text{Mean} = \frac{150}{30} = 5

    The final answer is B. 5\boxed{\text{B. } 5}.
