Every sheet in November 1965

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 1965A block has mass 830 g (to the nearest 10 g) and volume 12 cm^3 (to the nearest cm^3). Work out the upper bound of its density, to 2 decimal places.
  2. 2nd November 1965Work out the nth term of the quadratic sequence -1, -2, -1, 2, ...
  3. 3rd November 1965y is directly proportional to sqrt(x). When x = 9, y = 9. Work out y when x = 36.
  4. 4th November 1965A cuboid measures 11 cm by 7 cm by 14 cm tall. Work out the angle between its longest internal diagonal and the base, to 1 decimal place.
  5. 5th November 1965A bag holds 5 red, 6 blue and 5 green counters. Two are taken without replacement. Given neither is green, what is the probability both are red?
  6. 6th November 1965On a histogram, a 4-wide bar and a 16-wide bar have the same frequency density of 3. How many more values are in the wider class?
  7. 7th November 1965x = 195 and y = 114, each correct to the nearest whole number. Work out the upper bound of x - y.
  8. 8th November 1965The point (0, -5) lies on y = f(x). Write down its image on y = f(x) + 5.
  9. 9th November 1965A train slows steadily from 30 m/s to rest in 5 seconds. Work out its deceleration.
  10. 10th November 1965The point (9, 40) lies on the circle x^2 + y^2 = 1681. Work out the gradient of the tangent to the circle at that point.
  11. 11th November 1965A bag holds 6 counters, r of them red. Two are taken without replacement and P(both red) = 2/5. Work out r.
  12. 12th November 1965A histogram has two bars: one 20 units wide with frequency density 2.5, one 10 units wide with density 3. How many values in total?
  13. 13th November 1965A car covers 520 m (to the nearest 10 m) in 3 s (to the nearest second). Work out the lower bound of its speed, to 2 decimal places.
  14. 14th November 1965Prove that the sum of 5 consecutive integers is always a multiple of 5. State the simplified sum you would use.
  15. 15th November 1965y is inversely proportional to x^2. When x = 5, y = 144. Work out y when x = 6.
  16. 16th November 1965In a circle theorem proof, a step uses the fact that OA and OB are both radii of the circle, so triangle OAB is isosceles. State the reason being quoted.
  17. 17th November 1965The probability of winning a game is 3/8. A player expects 30 wins. How many games did they play?
  18. 18th November 1965On 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?
  19. 19th November 1965Rationalise the denominator of 88/sqrt(11), giving your answer in its simplest form.
  20. 20th November 1965f(x) = 3x - 1 and g(x) = 3x - 6. Work out fg(5).
  21. 21st November 1965y is directly proportional to x^3. When x = 4, y = 320. Work out y when x = 2.
  22. 22nd November 1965In a vector proof you find that vector PQ = a - 6b and vector RS = 2a - 12b. What does this show about PQ and RS?
  23. 23rd November 1965A bag holds 7 red and n blue counters. The probability of taking a red is 7/9. Work out n.
  24. 24th November 1965A histogram has two bars: one 20 units wide with frequency density 2, one 5 units wide with density 3.5. How many values in total?
  25. 25th November 1965Simplify sqrt(72) + sqrt(72), giving your answer in the form a sqrt(b).
