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

  1. 1st July 1963The probability of winning a game is 1/2. A player expects 25 wins. How many games did they play?
  2. 2nd July 1963A histogram has two bars: one 10 units wide with frequency density 2, one 20 units wide with density 1.4. How many values in total?
  3. 3rd July 1963A rectangle is 18 cm by 10 cm, each correct to the nearest cm. Work out the upper bound of its area.
  4. 4th July 1963Make x the subject of 4x + 2 = y(x + 2).
  5. 5th July 1963y is inversely proportional to x^2. When x = 4, y = 36. Work out y when x = 6.
  6. 6th July 1963In a vector proof you find that vector PQ = 3a - 4b and vector RS = 9a - 12b. What does this show about PQ and RS?
  7. 7th July 1963A bag holds 5 red and n blue counters. The probability of taking a red is 1/2. Work out n.
  8. 8th July 1963On a histogram, a 10-wide bar and a 30-wide bar have the same frequency density of 3. How many more values are in the wider class?
  9. 9th July 1963Expand and simplify (2 + sqrt(2))(2 - sqrt(2)).
  10. 10th July 1963Write 6/(x + 3) + 7/(x + 1) as a single fraction.
  11. 11th July 1963y is directly proportional to x^3. When x = 2, y = 24. Work out y when x = 5.

  13. 13th July 1963A bag holds 3 red and 5 blue counters. Two are taken without replacement. Given the first was red, what is the probability the second is blue?
  14. 14th July 1963A histogram has two bars: one 20 units wide with frequency density 0.4, one 20 units wide with density 3.5. How many values in total?
  15. 15th July 1963A block has mass 500 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.
  16. 16th July 1963Solve 12x^2 - 7x + 1 = 0.
  17. 17th July 1963y is directly proportional to sqrt(x). When x = 16, y = 8. Work out y when x = 64.

  19. 19th July 1963A bag holds 6 red, 7 blue and 5 green counters. Two are taken without replacement. Given neither is green, what is the probability both are red?
  20. 20th July 1963On a histogram, a 10-wide bar and a 30-wide bar have the same frequency density of 2. How many more values are in the wider class?
  21. 21st July 1963x = 176 and y = 163, each correct to the nearest whole number. Work out the upper bound of x - y.
