Every sheet in December 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 December 1967A bag holds 10 counters, r of them red. Two are taken without replacement and P(both red) = 1/15. Work out r.
  2. 2nd December 1967On a histogram, a 10-wide bar and a 20-wide bar have the same frequency density of 1.5. How many more values are in the wider class?
  3. 3rd December 1967x = 84 and y = 5, each correct to the nearest whole number. Work out the upper bound of x - y.
  4. 4th December 1967Work out the coordinates of the turning point of y = x^2 - 16x - 6.
  5. 5th December 1967y is directly proportional to x^3. When x = 4, y = 128. Work out y when x = 2.
  6. 6th December 1967In 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.
  7. 7th December 1967The probability of winning a game is 4/5. A player expects 32 wins. How many games did they play?
  8. 8th December 1967A histogram has two bars: one 20 units wide with frequency density 1.5, one 25 units wide with density 3.5. How many values in total?
  9. 9th December 1967A car covers 430 m (to the nearest 10 m) in 5 s (to the nearest second). Work out the lower bound of its speed, to 2 decimal places.
  10. 10th December 1967Simplify (x^2 - 7x - 8)/(x + 1).
  11. 11th December 1967y is directly proportional to sqrt(x). When x = 49, y = 35. Work out y when x = 64.
  12. 12th December 1967In a vector proof you find that vector PQ = 5a + 3b and vector RS = 10a + 6b. What does this show about PQ and RS?
  13. 13th December 1967A bag holds 2 red and n blue counters. The probability of taking a red is 2/5. Work out n.
  14. 14th December 1967On a histogram, a 4-wide bar and a 12-wide bar have the same frequency density of 3. How many more values are in the wider class?
  15. 15th December 1967Rationalise the denominator of 99/sqrt(11), giving your answer in its simplest form.
  16. 16th December 1967In an algebraic proof, how would you write two consecutive odd numbers in terms of an integer n?

  19. 19th December 1967A bag holds 6 red and 3 blue counters. Two are taken without replacement. Given the first was red, what is the probability the second is blue?
  20. 20th December 1967A histogram has two bars: one 10 units wide with frequency density 1.2, one 20 units wide with density 3.5. How many values in total?
  21. 21st December 1967Simplify sqrt(32) + sqrt(32), giving your answer in the form a sqrt(b).
