Every sheet in January 1967

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

  1. 1st January 1967x = 43 and y = 32, each correct to the nearest whole number. Work out the upper bound of x - y.
  2. 2nd January 1967f(x) = 4x - 5 and g(x) = 4x - 4. Work out fg(4).
  3. 3rd January 1967y is directly proportional to x^3. When x = 2, y = 32. Work out y when x = 3.
  4. 4th January 1967The 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.
  5. 5th January 1967A bag holds 11 counters, r of them red. Two are taken without replacement and P(both red) = 1/55. Work out r.
  6. 6th January 1967A histogram has two bars: one 10 units wide with frequency density 2.5, one 20 units wide with density 0.8. How many values in total?
  7. 7th January 1967A car covers 730 m (to the nearest 10 m) in 6 s (to the nearest second). Work out the lower bound of its speed, to 2 decimal places.
  8. 8th January 1967The curve y = cos x° is drawn for 0 <= x <= 360. Write down the value of y when x = 0.
  9. 9th January 1967y is directly proportional to sqrt(x). When x = 49, y = 56. Work out y when x = 25.
  10. 10th January 1967In a circle theorem proof, a step uses the fact that opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral are being proved. State the reason being quoted.
  11. 11th January 1967The probability of winning a game is 5/8. A player expects 60 wins. How many games did they play?
