Every sheet in June 1970

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

  1. 1st June 1970On a histogram, a 5-wide bar and a 15-wide bar have the same frequency density of 2. How many more values are in the wider class?
  2. 2nd June 1970Expand and simplify (6 + sqrt(2))(6 - sqrt(2)).
  3. 3rd June 1970Write x^2 + 14x + 6 in the form (x + a)^2 + b.
  4. 4th June 1970y is directly proportional to x^3. When x = 4, y = 192. Work out y when x = 3.
  5. 5th June 1970A cuboid measures 13 cm by 4 cm by 12 cm. Work out the length of the longest diagonal inside it, to 1 decimal place.
  6. 6th June 1970A bag holds 5 red and 4 blue counters. Two are taken without replacement. Given the first was red, what is the probability the second is blue?
  7. 7th June 1970A histogram has two bars: one 10 units wide with frequency density 2, one 10 units wide with density 0.8. How many values in total?
  8. 8th June 1970A block has mass 380 g (to the nearest 10 g) and volume 19 cm^3 (to the nearest cm^3). Work out the upper bound of its density, to 2 decimal places.
  9. 9th June 1970Work out the coordinates of the turning point of y = x^2 - 2x - 8.
  10. 10th June 1970y is directly proportional to sqrt(x). When x = 36, y = 42. Work out y when x = 4.
  11. 11th June 1970A cuboid measures 4 cm by 14 cm by 12 cm tall. Work out the angle between its longest internal diagonal and the base, to 1 decimal place.
  12. 12th June 1970A bag holds 6 red, 5 blue and 5 green counters. Two are taken without replacement. Given neither is green, what is the probability both are red?
  13. 13th June 1970On a histogram, a 4-wide bar and a 8-wide bar have the same frequency density of 2. How many more values are in the wider class?
  14. 14th June 1970x = 154 and y = 85, each correct to the nearest whole number. Work out the upper bound of x - y.
  15. 15th June 1970Simplify (x^2 - x - 12)/(x - 4).
  16. 16th June 1970A train slows steadily from 13 m/s to rest in 10 seconds. Work out its deceleration.
  17. 17th June 1970The point (9, 40) lies on the circle x^2 + y^2 = 1681. Work out the gradient of the tangent to the circle at that point.
  18. 18th June 1970A bag holds 10 counters, r of them red. Two are taken without replacement and P(both red) = 2/9. Work out r.
  19. 19th June 1970A histogram has two bars: one 5 units wide with frequency density 1.5, one 20 units wide with density 3.5. How many values in total?
  20. 20th June 1970A car covers 350 m (to the nearest 10 m) in 7 s (to the nearest second). Work out the lower bound of its speed, to 2 decimal places.
  21. 21st June 1970In an algebraic proof, how would you write the product of two consecutive integers in terms of an integer n?
  22. 22nd June 1970y is inversely proportional to x^2. When x = 2, y = 144. Work out y when x = 6.
  23. 23rd June 1970In a circle theorem proof, a step uses the fact that two tangents are drawn to a circle from the same external point. State the reason being quoted.
  24. 24th June 1970The probability of winning a game is 3/8. A player expects 12 wins. How many games did they play?
  25. 25th June 1970On a histogram, a 10-wide bar and a 40-wide bar have the same frequency density of 2. How many more values are in the wider class?
