(b)

(i) Median, \(Q_{2} = \frac{1}{2} \text{Nth score}\)

= \(\frac{1}{2} \text{60th score} = 30th\) score.

= \(48.4\)

(ii) \(Q_{1} = 35.5 ; Q_{3} = 57.5\)

Quartile deviation = \(\frac{1}{2} (Q_{3} - Q_{1})\)

= \(\frac{1}{2} (57.5 - 35.5) = \frac{1}{2} (22)\)

= \(11.0\)

Explanation

(a)A tax is a compulsory payment made by each eligible citizen to the government. The purpose of tax is to raise revenue for the government.

(b) The various tax systems are:

(i) Progressive tax system:This is a form of tax in which tax rate increases as income increases. It takes a larger percentage of income from people with larger incomes. A progressive tax reduces inequality of income distribution. A good example is the PAYE.

(ii) Proportional tax systems: The rate of tax is the same irrespective of the level of income. If a tax leads to both the rich and the poor paying the same proportion or percentage of their incomes as tax, then the tax is called a proportional tax.

(iii) Regressive tax: The higher the income, the lower is the rate of tax. In this type of taxation, a poor person pays a higher proportion of his income. Regressive tax is considered as unfair to the poor, e.g. poll tax.

Correct Answer: A. political culture

Correct Answer: C. x - 2

Explanation

\(2x^2 + 3x - 14\)

\(2x^2 + 7x - 4x - 14\)

\(x(2x + 7) - 2(2x + 7)\)

= \((x - 2)(2x + 7)\)

The other factor = (x - 2).

Explanation

Find the median of this data set: 145,57,223,76,453,123,979,57,76,233,435,76 To begin, let's put our numbers in increasing order: 57,57,76,76,76,123,145,223,233,435,453,979 Next, find the median by finding the number in the middle of the data set. If there are two numbers in the middle, then find their average: 57,57,76,76,76,123,145,223,233,435,453,979 So, the median will be: 123+145/2=268/2=134
