Every sheet in November 1966

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 1966On a histogram, a 4-wide bar and a 8-wide bar have the same frequency density of 2. How many more values are in the wider class?
  2. 2nd November 1966A rectangle is 8 cm by 20 cm, each correct to the nearest cm. Work out the upper bound of its area.
  3. 3rd November 1966In an algebraic proof, how would you write the next odd number after 2n + 1 in terms of an integer n?
  4. 4th November 1966A train slows steadily from 26 m/s to rest in 5 seconds. Work out its deceleration.
  5. 5th November 1966The point (12, 16) lies on the circle x^2 + y^2 = 400. Work out the gradient of the tangent to the circle at that point.
  6. 6th November 1966A bag holds 6 counters, r of them red. Two are taken without replacement and P(both red) = 2/5. Work out r.
  7. 7th November 1966A histogram has two bars: one 5 units wide with frequency density 1.2, one 20 units wide with density 0.6. How many values in total?
  8. 8th November 1966Expand and simplify (9 + sqrt(7))(9 - sqrt(7)).
  9. 9th November 1966Make x the subject of 5x + 6 = y(x + 6).
  10. 10th November 1966y is inversely proportional to x^2. When x = 3, y = 25. Work out y when x = 5.
  11. 11th November 1966In 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.
  12. 12th November 1966The probability of winning a game is 3/4. A player expects 42 wins. How many games did they play?
  13. 13th November 1966On a histogram, a 4-wide bar and a 8-wide bar have the same frequency density of 2.5. How many more values are in the wider class?
  14. 14th November 1966A block has mass 260 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.
  15. 15th November 1966Write 7/(x - 3) + 2/(x - 2) as a single fraction.
  16. 16th November 1966y is directly proportional to x^3. When x = 2, y = 24. Work out y when x = 5.
  17. 17th November 1966In a vector proof you find that vector PQ = 6a + b and vector RS = 30a + 5b. What does this show about PQ and RS?
  18. 18th November 1966A bag holds 6 red and n blue counters. The probability of taking a red is 3/7. Work out n.
  19. 19th November 1966A histogram has two bars: one 5 units wide with frequency density 0.4, one 20 units wide with density 3.5. How many values in total?
  20. 20th November 1966x = 133 and y = 61, each correct to the nearest whole number. Work out the upper bound of x - y.
  21. 21st November 1966Solve 3x^2 - 7x + 4 = 0.
  22. 22nd November 1966y is directly proportional to sqrt(x). When x = 25, y = 30. Work out y when x = 16.

  24. 24th November 1966A bag holds 4 red and 7 blue counters. Two are taken without replacement. Given the first was red, what is the probability the second is blue?
  25. 25th November 1966On a histogram, a 4-wide bar and a 12-wide bar have the same frequency density of 2. How many more values are in the wider class?
  26. 26th November 1966A car covers 530 m (to the nearest 10 m) in 4 s (to the nearest second). Work out the lower bound of its speed, to 2 decimal places.
  27. 27th November 1966f(x) = 5x + 10. Work out the inverse function f^-1(x).
  28. 28th November 1966A train slows steadily from 12 m/s to rest in 4 seconds. Work out its deceleration.
