The same date always regenerates the same five questions, so a sheet you print today is the sheet a classmate prints tomorrow.

  1. 1st November 1952A bag holds 7 red and n blue counters. The probability of taking a red is 7/9. Work out n.
  2. 2nd November 1952On a histogram, a 5-wide bar and a 10-wide bar have the same frequency density of 2.5. How many more values are in the wider class?
  3. 3rd November 1952A block has mass 770 g (to the nearest 10 g) and volume 12 cm^3 (to the nearest cm^3). Work out the upper bound of its density, to 2 decimal places.
  4. 4th November 1952Work out the coordinates of the turning point of y = x^2 + 2x + 14.
  5. 5th November 1952A train slows steadily from 13 m/s to rest in 4 seconds. Work out its deceleration.
  6. 6th November 1952A cuboid measures 13 cm by 12 cm by 11 cm. Work out the length of the longest diagonal inside it, to 1 decimal place.
  7. 7th November 1952A bag holds 3 red and 10 blue counters. Two are taken without replacement. Given the first was red, what is the probability the second is blue?
  8. 8th November 1952A histogram has two bars: one 5 units wide with frequency density 2, one 10 units wide with density 0.6. How many values in total?
  9. 9th November 1952x = 84 and y = 57, each correct to the nearest whole number. Work out the upper bound of x - y.
  10. 10th November 1952Simplify (x^2 - 36)/(x + 6).
  11. 11th November 1952y is inversely proportional to x^2. When x = 5, y = 64. Work out y when x = 4.
  12. 12th November 1952A cuboid measures 11 cm by 5 cm by 5 cm tall. Work out the angle between its longest internal diagonal and the base, to 1 decimal place.
  13. 13th November 1952A bag holds 4 red, 5 blue and 2 green counters. Two are taken without replacement. Given neither is green, what is the probability both are red?
  14. 14th November 1952On a histogram, a 10-wide bar and a 30-wide bar have the same frequency density of 1.5. How many more values are in the wider class?
  15. 15th November 1952A car covers 120 m (to the nearest 10 m) in 5 s (to the nearest second). Work out the lower bound of its speed, to 2 decimal places.
  16. 16th November 1952In an algebraic proof, how would you write two consecutive odd numbers in terms of an integer n?
  17. 17th November 1952y is directly proportional to x^3. When x = 4, y = 256. Work out y when x = 5.
  18. 18th November 1952The point (12, 16) lies on the circle x^2 + y^2 = 400. Work out the gradient of the tangent to the circle at that point.
  19. 19th November 1952A bag holds 6 counters, r of them red. Two are taken without replacement and P(both red) = 1/15. Work out r.
  20. 20th November 1952A histogram has two bars: one 20 units wide with frequency density 0.4, one 25 units wide with density 1.4. How many values in total?
  21. 21st November 1952Rationalise the denominator of 18/sqrt(3), giving your answer in its simplest form.
  22. 22nd November 1952Make x the subject of 4x + 7 = y(x + 7).
  23. 23rd November 1952y is directly proportional to sqrt(x). When x = 9, y = 18. Work out y when x = 64.
  24. 24th November 1952In a circle theorem proof, a step uses the fact that opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral are being proved. State the reason being quoted.
  25. 25th November 1952The probability of winning a game is 3/4. A player expects 15 wins. How many games did they play?
  26. 26th November 1952On a histogram, a 10-wide bar and a 30-wide bar have the same frequency density of 1.5. How many more values are in the wider class?
  27. 27th November 1952Simplify sqrt(48) + sqrt(147), giving your answer in the form a sqrt(b).
  28. 28th November 1952Write 7/(x + 5) + 4/(x - 6) as a single fraction.
  29. 29th November 1952A train slows steadily from 32 m/s to rest in 8 seconds. Work out its deceleration.
  30. 30th November 1952In a vector proof you find that vector PQ = 5a - 5b and vector RS = 20a - 20b. What does this show about PQ and RS?
