What wassce-style objectives — set b means

You practise exam-style Maths questions that mix trig, averages, and chance. These are the kinds of short problems you need to solve quickly and accurately in timed tests.

What you will practise

  • Use right-angled triangle ratios to find missing trigonometric values.
  • Work out a missing number from a mean or total.
  • Count favourable outcomes in simple probability questions.
  • Choose the correct method from a short WASSCE-style question.

Before you start

You should already know basic trigonometric ratios, how to find a mean, and simple counting of outcomes. You also need comfort with fractions and the properties of acute angles.

Worked example

One question from this skill's own question bank, shown with its full working.

Question

Given tan θ = 3/4 and θ is acute, find sin θ.

  • 3/5
  • 4/5
  • 3/4
  • 5/3
Answer: 3/5

Working: A 3-4-5 right triangle gives sin θ = 3/5.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Using the wrong side ratio in trigonometry; match opposite, adjacent and hypotenuse carefully.
  • Forgetting to multiply the mean by the number of values before subtracting known numbers.
  • Counting all outcomes incorrectly in probability; list the sample space first.
  • Leaving answers unsimplified when a simple fraction is expected.
