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 1964A bag holds 4 red and n blue counters. The probability of taking a red is 1/3. Work out n.
  2. 2nd June 1964A 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?
  3. 3rd June 1964A rectangle is 19 cm by 4 cm, each correct to the nearest cm. Work out the upper bound of its area.
  4. 4th June 1964Use the iteration x(n+1) = cube root of (8x(n) + 9) with x(0) = 2. Work out x(1) to 3 decimal places.
  5. 5th June 1964y is inversely proportional to x^2. When x = 4, y = 75. Work out y when x = 5.
  6. 6th June 1964A cuboid measures 13 cm by 9 cm by 5 cm. Work out the length of the longest diagonal inside it, to 1 decimal place.
  7. 7th June 1964A bag holds 5 red and 5 blue counters. Two are taken without replacement. Given the first was red, what is the probability the second is blue?
  8. 8th June 1964On a histogram, a 5-wide bar and a 10-wide bar have the same frequency density of 2.5. How many more values are in the wider class?
  9. 9th June 1964Expand and simplify (5 + sqrt(5))(5 - sqrt(5)).
  10. 10th June 1964Work out the nth term of the quadratic sequence -2, 7, 22, 43, ...

  12. 12th June 1964A cuboid measures 10 cm by 13 cm by 10 cm tall. Work out the angle between its longest internal diagonal and the base, to 1 decimal place.
  13. 13th June 1964A bag holds 3 red, 5 blue and 5 green counters. Two are taken without replacement. Given neither is green, what is the probability both are red?
  14. 14th June 1964A histogram has two bars: one 20 units wide with frequency density 2.5, one 20 units wide with density 0.8. How many values in total?
  15. 15th June 1964A block has mass 590 g (to the nearest 10 g) and volume 14 cm^3 (to the nearest cm^3). Work out the upper bound of its density, to 2 decimal places.
  16. 16th June 1964The point (1, -1) lies on y = f(x). Write down its image on y = f(x - 1).
  17. 17th June 1964y is directly proportional to sqrt(x). When x = 16, y = 28. Work out y when x = 81.
  18. 18th June 1964The point (3, 4) lies on the circle x^2 + y^2 = 25. Work out the gradient of the tangent to the circle at that point.
  19. 19th June 1964A bag holds 6 counters, r of them red. Two are taken without replacement and P(both red) = 2/5. Work out r.
