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 1968The probability of winning a game is 1/4. A player expects 20 wins. How many games did they play?
  2. 2nd November 1968On a histogram, a 10-wide bar and a 30-wide bar have the same frequency density of 3. How many more values are in the wider class?
