Every sheet in April 1969

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

  1. 1st April 1969A 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?
  2. 2nd April 1969A rectangle is 23 cm by 20 cm, each correct to the nearest cm. Work out the upper bound of its area.
  3. 3rd April 1969The curve y = cos x° is drawn for 0 <= x <= 360. Write down the value of y when x = 0.
  4. 4th April 1969y is directly proportional to sqrt(x). When x = 49, y = 56. Work out y when x = 16.
  5. 5th April 1969In a vector proof you find that vector PQ = 3a + 4b and vector RS = 9a + 12b. What does this show about PQ and RS?
  6. 6th April 1969A bag holds 6 red and n blue counters. The probability of taking a red is 2/3. Work out n.
  7. 7th April 1969On a histogram, a 10-wide bar and a 30-wide bar have the same frequency density of 2.5. How many more values are in the wider class?
  8. 8th April 1969Expand and simplify (7 + sqrt(10))(7 - sqrt(10)).
  9. 9th April 1969A quadratic sequence starts 7, 26, 55, 94. Work out the second difference, and the coefficient of n^2.
  10. 10th April 1969A train slows steadily from 27 m/s to rest in 8 seconds. Work out its deceleration.
  11. 11th April 1969A cuboid measures 13 cm by 13 cm by 8 cm. Work out the length of the longest diagonal inside it, to 1 decimal place.
  12. 12th April 1969A 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?

  15. 15th April 1969Solve x^2 - 4x - 12 > 0.
  16. 16th April 1969y is inversely proportional to x^2. When x = 3, y = 100. Work out y when x = 5.
  17. 17th April 1969A cuboid measures 12 cm by 13 cm by 7 cm tall. Work out the angle between its longest internal diagonal and the base, to 1 decimal place.
  18. 18th April 1969A bag holds 7 red, 5 blue and 3 green counters. Two are taken without replacement. Given neither is green, what is the probability both are red?
  19. 19th April 1969On a histogram, a 10-wide bar and a 20-wide bar have the same frequency density of 3. How many more values are in the wider class?
  20. 20th April 1969x = 162 and y = 109, each correct to the nearest whole number. Work out the upper bound of x - y.
  21. 21st April 1969Write x^2 + 12x + 8 in the form (x + a)^2 + b.
  22. 22nd April 1969y is directly proportional to x^3. When x = 4, y = 128. Work out y when x = 5.
  23. 23rd April 1969The point (7, 24) lies on the circle x^2 + y^2 = 625. Work out the gradient of the tangent to the circle at that point.
  24. 24th April 1969A bag holds 6 counters, r of them red. Two are taken without replacement and P(both red) = 2/5. Work out r.
  25. 25th April 1969A histogram has two bars: one 20 units wide with frequency density 1.5, one 20 units wide with density 1.4. How many values in total?
  26. 26th April 1969A car covers 650 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.
  27. 27th April 1969Work out the coordinates of the turning point of y = x^2 + 2x - 13.
  28. 28th April 1969y is directly proportional to sqrt(x). When x = 36, y = 30. Work out y when x = 64.
  29. 29th April 1969In 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.
  30. 30th April 1969The probability of winning a game is 3/4. A player expects 9 wins. How many games did they play?
