Every sheet in September 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 September 1967The point (10, 24) lies on the circle x^2 + y^2 = 676. Work out the gradient of the tangent to the circle at that point.
  2. 2nd September 1967A bag holds 8 counters, r of them red. Two are taken without replacement and P(both red) = 5/14. Work out r.
  3. 3rd September 1967A histogram has two bars: one 10 units wide with frequency density 2.5, one 25 units wide with density 0.6. How many values in total?
  4. 4th September 1967A block has mass 880 g (to the nearest 10 g) and volume 24 cm^3 (to the nearest cm^3). Work out the upper bound of its density, to 2 decimal places.
  5. 5th September 1967In an algebraic proof, how would you write three consecutive even numbers in terms of an integer n?
  6. 6th September 1967y is directly proportional to sqrt(x). When x = 9, y = 9. Work out y when x = 36.
  7. 7th September 1967In 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.
  8. 8th September 1967The probability of winning a game is 1/2. A player expects 30 wins. How many games did they play?
  9. 9th September 1967On a histogram, a 5-wide bar and a 20-wide bar have the same frequency density of 2.5. How many more values are in the wider class?
  10. 10th September 1967x = 87 and y = 55, each correct to the nearest whole number. Work out the upper bound of x - y.
  11. 11th September 1967Make x the subject of 5x + 2 = y(x + 2).
  12. 12th September 1967A train slows steadily from 33 m/s to rest in 5 seconds. Work out its deceleration.
  13. 13th September 1967In a vector proof you find that vector PQ = 3a + 5b and vector RS = 15a + 25b. What does this show about PQ and RS?
  14. 14th September 1967A bag holds 7 red and n blue counters. The probability of taking a red is 7/15. Work out n.
  15. 15th September 1967A histogram has two bars: one 10 units wide with frequency density 0.4, one 10 units wide with density 3.5. How many values in total?
  16. 16th September 1967A car covers 160 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.
  17. 17th September 1967Write 6/(x + 5) + 2/(x - 5) as a single fraction.
  18. 18th September 1967y is inversely proportional to x^2. When x = 2, y = 18. Work out y when x = 3.
  19. 19th September 1967A cuboid measures 6 cm by 3 cm by 6 cm. Work out the length of the longest diagonal inside it, to 1 decimal place.
  20. 20th September 1967A bag holds 6 red and 8 blue counters. Two are taken without replacement. Given the first was red, what is the probability the second is blue?
  21. 21st September 1967On a histogram, a 5-wide bar and a 10-wide bar have the same frequency density of 3. How many more values are in the wider class?
  22. 22nd September 1967Rationalise the denominator of 48/sqrt(6), giving your answer in its simplest form.
  23. 23rd September 1967Solve 15x^2 - 14x - 8 = 0.
  24. 24th September 1967y is directly proportional to x^3. When x = 3, y = 135. Work out y when x = 2.
  25. 25th September 1967A cuboid measures 9 cm by 12 cm by 5 cm tall. Work out the angle between its longest internal diagonal and the base, to 1 decimal place.
  26. 26th September 1967A bag holds 6 red, 4 blue and 6 green counters. Two are taken without replacement. Given neither is green, what is the probability both are red?
  27. 27th September 1967A histogram has two bars: one 5 units wide with frequency density 0.4, one 25 units wide with density 3.5. How many values in total?
  28. 28th September 1967Simplify sqrt(18) + sqrt(32), giving your answer in the form a sqrt(b).
  29. 29th September 1967f(x) = 5x - 11. Work out the inverse function f^-1(x).
  30. 30th September 1967y is directly proportional to sqrt(x). When x = 49, y = 14. Work out y when x = 36.
