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 1974A histogram has two bars: one 5 units wide with frequency density 1.2, one 5 units wide with density 0.6. How many values in total?
  2. 2nd November 1974A car covers 330 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.
  3. 3rd November 1974The curve y = sin x° is drawn for 0 <= x <= 360. Write down the value of y when x = 90.
  4. 4th November 1974y is directly proportional to sqrt(x). When x = 4, y = 6. Work out y when x = 64.
  5. 5th November 1974In a vector proof you find that vector PQ = 3a + 4b and vector RS = 12a + 16b. What does this show about PQ and RS?
  6. 6th November 1974A bag holds 8 red and n blue counters. The probability of taking a red is 2/3. Work out n.
  7. 7th November 1974On 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?
  8. 8th November 1974Rationalise the denominator of 4/sqrt(2), giving your answer in its simplest form.
  9. 9th November 1974A quadratic sequence starts 6, 23, 50, 87. Work out the second difference, and the coefficient of n^2.
  10. 10th November 1974A train slows steadily from 17 m/s to rest in 4 seconds. Work out its deceleration.
  11. 11th November 1974A cuboid measures 9 cm by 14 cm by 11 cm. Work out the length of the longest diagonal inside it, to 1 decimal place.
  12. 12th November 1974A bag holds 7 red and 4 blue counters. Two are taken without replacement. Given the first was red, what is the probability the second is blue?
  13. 13th November 1974A histogram has two bars: one 10 units wide with frequency density 0.4, one 5 units wide with density 0.8. How many values in total?
  14. 14th November 1974Simplify sqrt(20) + sqrt(20), giving your answer in the form a sqrt(b).
  15. 15th November 1974Solve x^2 + 9x + 8 > 0.
  16. 16th November 1974y is inversely proportional to x^2. When x = 5, y = 36. Work out y when x = 3.
  17. 17th November 1974A cuboid measures 4 cm by 10 cm by 4 cm tall. Work out the angle between its longest internal diagonal and the base, to 1 decimal place.
  18. 18th November 1974A bag holds 5 red, 4 blue and 2 green counters. Two are taken without replacement. Given neither is green, what is the probability both are red?
  19. 19th November 1974On a histogram, a 5-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 November 1974A rectangle is 26 cm by 28 cm, each correct to the nearest cm. Work out the upper bound of its area.
  21. 21st November 1974Write x^2 + 6x + 15 in the form (x + a)^2 + b.
  22. 22nd November 1974y is directly proportional to x^3. When x = 3, y = 108. Work out y when x = 5.
  23. 23rd November 1974The point (10, 24) lies on the circle x^2 + y^2 = 676. Work out the gradient of the tangent to the circle at that point.
  24. 24th November 1974A bag holds 8 counters, r of them red. Two are taken without replacement and P(both red) = 1/28. Work out r.
  25. 25th November 1974A 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?
