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

  1. 1st March 1968A 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?
  2. 2nd March 1968A car covers 540 m (to the nearest 10 m) in 8 s (to the nearest second). Work out the lower bound of its speed, to 2 decimal places.
  3. 3rd March 1968Solve x^2 - 3x < 0.
  4. 4th March 1968y is inversely proportional to x^2. When x = 5, y = 4. Work out y when x = 2.
  5. 5th March 1968In 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.
  6. 6th March 1968The probability of winning a game is 1/2. A player expects 4 wins. How many games did they play?
  7. 7th March 1968On a histogram, a 4-wide bar and a 16-wide bar have the same frequency density of 2.5. How many more values are in the wider class?
  8. 8th March 1968Rationalise the denominator of 21/sqrt(7), giving your answer in its simplest form.
  9. 9th March 1968Write x^2 + 2x + 1 in the form (x + a)^2 + b.
  10. 10th March 1968y is directly proportional to x^3. When x = 3, y = 135. Work out y when x = 2.
  11. 11th March 1968In a vector proof you find that vector PQ = a - b and vector RS = 5a - 5b. What does this show about PQ and RS?
  12. 12th March 1968A bag holds 3 red and n blue counters. The probability of taking a red is 3/5. Work out n.
  13. 13th March 1968A histogram has two bars: one 20 units wide with frequency density 1.5, one 10 units wide with density 1.4. How many values in total?
  14. 14th March 1968Simplify sqrt(80) + sqrt(5), giving your answer in the form a sqrt(b).
  15. 15th March 1968Work out the coordinates of the turning point of y = x^2 - 12x + 15.
  16. 16th March 1968y is directly proportional to sqrt(x). When x = 9, y = 9. Work out y when x = 81.

  20. 20th March 1968A rectangle is 24 cm by 23 cm, each correct to the nearest cm. Work out the upper bound of its area.
  21. 21st March 1968Simplify (x^2 - 12x + 35)/(x - 7).
  22. 22nd March 1968A train slows steadily from 27 m/s to rest in 4 seconds. Work out its deceleration.
  23. 23rd March 1968A cuboid measures 4 cm by 5 cm by 9 cm tall. Work out the angle between its longest internal diagonal and the base, to 1 decimal place.
  24. 24th March 1968A bag holds 7 red, 3 blue and 6 green counters. Two are taken without replacement. Given neither is green, what is the probability both are red?
  25. 25th March 1968A histogram has two bars: one 20 units wide with frequency density 2, one 25 units wide with density 0.8. How many values in total?
  26. 26th March 1968Expand and simplify (8 + sqrt(3))(8 - sqrt(3)).
