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 1982On a histogram, a 5-wide bar and a 20-wide bar have the same frequency density of 2. How many more values are in the wider class?
  2. 2nd November 1982Expand and simplify (9 + sqrt(10))(9 - sqrt(10)).
  3. 3rd November 1982Solve x^2 + y^2 = 169 and y = x - 7 simultaneously.
  4. 4th November 1982y is directly proportional to x^3. When x = 3, y = 162. Work out y when x = 2.
  5. 5th November 1982A cuboid measures 4 cm by 9 cm by 13 cm tall. Work out the angle between its longest internal diagonal and the base, to 1 decimal place.
  6. 6th November 1982A bag holds 4 red, 7 blue and 5 green counters. Two are taken without replacement. Given neither is green, what is the probability both are red?
  7. 7th November 1982A histogram has two bars: one 5 units wide with frequency density 2.5, one 5 units wide with density 3. How many values in total?
  8. 8th November 1982A block has mass 820 g (to the nearest 10 g) and volume 16 cm^3 (to the nearest cm^3). Work out the upper bound of its density, to 2 decimal places.
  9. 9th November 1982Use the iteration x(n+1) = cube root of (3x(n) + 2) with x(0) = 1. Work out x(1) to 3 decimal places.
  10. 10th November 1982y is directly proportional to sqrt(x). When x = 16, y = 20. Work out y when x = 9.
  11. 11th November 1982The 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.
  12. 12th November 1982A bag holds 8 counters, r of them red. Two are taken without replacement and P(both red) = 3/14. Work out r.
  13. 13th November 1982On a histogram, a 5-wide bar and a 20-wide bar have the same frequency density of 1.5. How many more values are in the wider class?
  14. 14th November 1982x = 81 and y = 8, each correct to the nearest whole number. Work out the upper bound of x - y.
  15. 15th November 1982Work out the nth term of the quadratic sequence 0, 8, 24, 48, ...
  16. 16th November 1982A train slows steadily from 34 m/s to rest in 4 seconds. Work out its deceleration.
  17. 17th November 1982In 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.
  18. 18th November 1982The probability of winning a game is 3/8. A player expects 21 wins. How many games did they play?
  19. 19th November 1982A histogram has two bars: one 5 units wide with frequency density 1.2, one 25 units wide with density 0.6. How many values in total?
  20. 20th November 1982A car covers 640 m (to the nearest 10 m) in 9 s (to the nearest second). Work out the lower bound of its speed, to 2 decimal places.
  21. 21st November 1982The point (2, -6) lies on y = f(x). Write down its image on y = f(x) - 3.
  22. 22nd November 1982y is inversely proportional to x^2. When x = 3, y = 72. Work out y when x = 6.
  23. 23rd November 1982In a vector proof you find that vector PQ = 5a - b and vector RS = 20a - 4b. What does this show about PQ and RS?
  24. 24th November 1982A bag holds 6 red and n blue counters. The probability of taking a red is 1/2. Work out n.
