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

  1. 1st February 1962A histogram has two bars: one 5 units wide with frequency density 1.2, one 20 units wide with density 3. How many values in total?
  2. 2nd February 1962Rationalise the denominator of 18/sqrt(2), giving your answer in its simplest form.
  3. 3rd February 1962In an algebraic proof, how would you write three consecutive integers in terms of an integer n?
  4. 4th February 1962y is directly proportional to sqrt(x). When x = 36, y = 18. Work out y when x = 49.
  5. 5th February 1962In a circle theorem proof, a step uses the fact that the angle in a semicircle is being proved. State the reason being quoted.
  6. 6th February 1962The probability of winning a game is 5/8. A player expects 75 wins. How many games did they play?

  11. 11th February 1962In a vector proof you find that vector PQ = 3a + 4b and vector RS = 9a + 12b. What does this show about PQ and RS?
  12. 12th February 1962A bag holds 6 red and n blue counters. The probability of taking a red is 1/2. Work out n.
  13. 13th February 1962A histogram has two bars: one 20 units wide with frequency density 2, one 20 units wide with density 0.6. How many values in total?
  14. 14th February 1962A rectangle is 25 cm by 13 cm, each correct to the nearest cm. Work out the upper bound of its area.
  15. 15th February 1962Write 7/(x + 5) + 7/(x + 3) as a single fraction.
  16. 16th February 1962y is inversely proportional to x^2. When x = 5, y = 48. Work out y when x = 4.
