Every sheet in July 1982

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

  1. 1st July 1982y is inversely proportional to x^2. When x = 5, y = 36. Work out y when x = 3.
  2. 2nd July 1982A cuboid measures 3 cm by 6 cm by 13 cm. Work out the length of the longest diagonal inside it, to 1 decimal place.
  3. 3rd July 1982A bag holds 4 red and 5 blue counters. Two are taken without replacement. Given the first was red, what is the probability the second is blue?
  4. 4th July 1982On a histogram, a 5-wide bar and a 15-wide bar have the same frequency density of 1.5. How many more values are in the wider class?
  5. 5th July 1982A block has mass 630 g (to the nearest 10 g) and volume 3 cm^3 (to the nearest cm^3). Work out the upper bound of its density, to 2 decimal places.
  6. 6th July 1982Write 7/(x - 6) + 4/(x + 3) as a single fraction.
  7. 7th July 1982y is directly proportional to x^3. When x = 2, y = 48. Work out y when x = 5.

  9. 9th July 1982A bag holds 7 red, 6 blue and 6 green counters. Two are taken without replacement. Given neither is green, what is the probability both are red?
  10. 10th July 1982A histogram has two bars: one 20 units wide with frequency density 2.5, one 25 units wide with density 0.6. How many values in total?
  11. 11th July 1982x = 83 and y = 50, each correct to the nearest whole number. Work out the upper bound of x - y.
  12. 12th July 1982Solve 12x^2 - 11x - 5 = 0.
  13. 13th July 1982y is directly proportional to sqrt(x). When x = 4, y = 8. Work out y when x = 25.
  14. 14th July 1982The point (5, 12) lies on the circle x^2 + y^2 = 169. Work out the gradient of the tangent to the circle at that point.
