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 1962A histogram has two bars: one 10 units wide with frequency density 1.2, one 10 units wide with density 0.8. How many values in total?
  2. 2nd June 1962A car covers 870 m (to the nearest 10 m) in 9 s (to the nearest second). Work out the lower bound of its speed, to 2 decimal places.
  3. 3rd June 1962Solve 8x^2 + 10x - 25 = 0.
  4. 4th June 1962y is directly proportional to sqrt(x). When x = 49, y = 35. Work out y when x = 81.
  5. 5th June 1962In a circle theorem proof, a step uses the fact that a tangent meets a radius at the point of contact. State the reason being quoted.
  6. 6th June 1962The probability of winning a game is 1/2. A player expects 25 wins. How many games did they play?
  7. 7th June 1962On a histogram, a 10-wide bar and a 40-wide bar have the same frequency density of 3. How many more values are in the wider class?
  8. 8th June 1962Rationalise the denominator of 15/sqrt(5), giving your answer in its simplest form.

  11. 11th June 1962In a vector proof you find that vector PQ = a - 3b and vector RS = 4a - 12b. What does this show about PQ and RS?
  12. 12th June 1962A bag holds 5 red and n blue counters. The probability of taking a red is 5/7. Work out n.
  13. 13th June 1962A histogram has two bars: one 10 units wide with frequency density 1.2, one 10 units wide with density 0.6. How many values in total?
  14. 14th June 1962Simplify sqrt(8) + sqrt(2), giving your answer in the form a sqrt(b).
  15. 15th June 1962Solve x^2 + y^2 = 625 and y = x - 17 simultaneously.
