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

  1. 1st June 1954On a histogram, a 10-wide bar and a 40-wide bar have the same frequency density of 2. How many more values are in the wider class?
  2. 2nd June 1954A rectangle is 30 cm by 25 cm, each correct to the nearest cm. Work out the upper bound of its area.
  3. 3rd June 1954Prove that the sum of 6 consecutive integers is always a multiple of 3. State the simplified sum you would use.
  4. 4th June 1954A train slows steadily from 15 m/s to rest in 5 seconds. Work out its deceleration.
  5. 5th June 1954A cuboid measures 9 cm by 8 cm by 12 cm tall. Work out the angle between its longest internal diagonal and the base, to 1 decimal place.
  6. 6th June 1954A bag holds 3 red, 3 blue and 5 green counters. Two are taken without replacement. Given neither is green, what is the probability both are red?
  7. 7th June 1954A histogram has two bars: one 5 units wide with frequency density 0.4, one 5 units wide with density 0.8. How many values in total?
  8. 8th June 1954Expand and simplify (7 + sqrt(10))(7 - sqrt(10)).
  9. 9th June 1954f(x) = 6x - 2 and g(x) = 3x - 6. Work out fg(6).
  10. 10th June 1954y is inversely proportional to x^2. When x = 3, y = 4. Work out y when x = 2.
  11. 11th June 1954The point (9, 12) lies on the circle x^2 + y^2 = 225. Work out the gradient of the tangent to the circle at that point.
  12. 12th June 1954A bag holds 11 counters, r of them red. Two are taken without replacement and P(both red) = 21/55. Work out r.
  13. 13th June 1954On a histogram, a 4-wide bar and a 16-wide bar have the same frequency density of 2. How many more values are in the wider class?
  14. 14th June 1954A block has mass 460 g (to the nearest 10 g) and volume 19 cm^3 (to the nearest cm^3). Work out the upper bound of its density, to 2 decimal places.
  15. 15th June 1954The curve y = sin x° is drawn for 0 <= x <= 360. Write down the value of y when x = 180.
  16. 16th June 1954y is directly proportional to x^3. When x = 4, y = 256. Work out y when x = 2.
  17. 17th June 1954In a circle theorem proof, a step uses the fact that a radius is drawn to the midpoint of a chord. State the reason being quoted.
  18. 18th June 1954The probability of winning a game is 1/8. A player expects 9 wins. How many games did they play?
  19. 19th June 1954A histogram has two bars: one 20 units wide with frequency density 2.5, one 20 units wide with density 0.6. How many values in total?
  20. 20th June 1954x = 71 and y = 42, each correct to the nearest whole number. Work out the upper bound of x - y.
  21. 21st June 1954A quadratic sequence starts -2, 0, 4, 10. Work out the second difference, and the coefficient of n^2.
  22. 22nd June 1954y is directly proportional to sqrt(x). When x = 49, y = 42. Work out y when x = 64.
  23. 23rd June 1954In a vector proof you find that vector PQ = 3a + 5b and vector RS = 6a + 10b. What does this show about PQ and RS?
  24. 24th June 1954A bag holds 3 red and n blue counters. The probability of taking a red is 1/3. Work out n.
  25. 25th June 1954On a histogram, a 10-wide bar and a 40-wide bar have the same frequency density of 2. How many more values are in the wider class?
  26. 26th June 1954A car covers 140 m (to the nearest 10 m) in 4 s (to the nearest second). Work out the lower bound of its speed, to 2 decimal places.
  27. 27th June 1954Solve x^2 + 5x - 6 > 0.
  28. 28th June 1954A train slows steadily from 29 m/s to rest in 8 seconds. Work out its deceleration.
