Every sheet in November 1960

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 1960A bag holds 5 red, 4 blue and 3 green counters. Two are taken without replacement. Given neither is green, what is the probability both are red?
  2. 2nd November 1960A histogram has two bars: one 5 units wide with frequency density 2, one 10 units wide with density 3.5. How many values in total?
  3. 3rd November 1960Simplify sqrt(48) + sqrt(48), giving your answer in the form a sqrt(b).
  4. 4th November 1960Prove that the sum of 5 consecutive integers is always a multiple of 5. State the simplified sum you would use.
  5. 5th November 1960y is directly proportional to sqrt(x). When x = 25, y = 40. Work out y when x = 9.
  6. 6th November 1960The point (20, 21) lies on the circle x^2 + y^2 = 841. Work out the gradient of the tangent to the circle at that point.
  7. 7th November 1960A bag holds 7 counters, r of them red. Two are taken without replacement and P(both red) = 2/7. Work out r.
  8. 8th November 1960On a histogram, a 5-wide bar and a 15-wide bar have the same frequency density of 1.5. How many more values are in the wider class?
  9. 9th November 1960A rectangle is 20 cm by 25 cm, each correct to the nearest cm. Work out the upper bound of its area.
