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 1971A bag holds 9 red and 4 blue counters. Two are taken without replacement. Given the first was red, what is the probability the second is blue?
  2. 2nd June 1971A histogram has two bars: one 10 units wide with frequency density 0.4, one 25 units wide with density 1.4. How many values in total?
  3. 3rd June 1971Simplify sqrt(48) + sqrt(3), giving your answer in the form a sqrt(b).
  4. 4th June 1971Work out the nth term of the quadratic sequence 7, 18, 33, 52, ...
  5. 5th June 1971y is directly proportional to sqrt(x). When x = 25, y = 35. Work out y when x = 49.
  6. 6th June 1971A cuboid measures 11 cm by 10 cm by 12 cm tall. Work out the angle between its longest internal diagonal and the base, to 1 decimal place.
  7. 7th June 1971A bag holds 6 red, 4 blue and 6 green counters. Two are taken without replacement. Given neither is green, what is the probability both are red?
  8. 8th June 1971On a histogram, a 5-wide bar and a 15-wide bar have the same frequency density of 3. How many more values are in the wider class?
  9. 9th June 1971A rectangle is 8 cm by 7 cm, each correct to the nearest cm. Work out the upper bound of its area.
  10. 10th June 1971The point (2, -6) lies on y = f(x). Write down its image on y = f(x + 1).
  11. 11th June 1971A train slows steadily from 36 m/s to rest in 4 seconds. Work out its deceleration.
  12. 12th June 1971The 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.
  13. 13th June 1971A bag holds 11 counters, r of them red. Two are taken without replacement and P(both red) = 3/11. Work out r.
  14. 14th June 1971A histogram has two bars: one 10 units wide with frequency density 0.4, one 25 units wide with density 3. How many values in total?
  15. 15th June 1971Expand and simplify (7 + sqrt(11))(7 - sqrt(11)).
  16. 16th June 1971Prove that the sum of 7 consecutive integers is always a multiple of 7. State the simplified sum you would use.
  17. 17th June 1971y is inversely proportional to x^2. When x = 4, y = 36. Work out y when x = 6.
  18. 18th June 1971In 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.
  19. 19th June 1971The probability of winning a game is 3/5. A player expects 39 wins. How many games did they play?
  20. 20th June 1971On a histogram, a 4-wide bar and a 12-wide bar have the same frequency density of 1.5. How many more values are in the wider class?
