Every sheet in July 1983

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 1983The curve y = cos x° is drawn for 0 <= x <= 360. Write down the value of y when x = 90.
  2. 2nd July 1983y is directly proportional to x^3. When x = 3, y = 162. Work out y when x = 2.
  3. 3rd July 1983A cuboid measures 10 cm by 4 cm by 12 cm tall. Work out the angle between its longest internal diagonal and the base, to 1 decimal place.
  4. 4th July 1983A bag holds 3 red, 7 blue and 4 green counters. Two are taken without replacement. Given neither is green, what is the probability both are red?
  5. 5th July 1983A histogram has two bars: one 5 units wide with frequency density 0.4, one 25 units wide with density 1.4. How many values in total?
  6. 6th July 1983A rectangle is 4 cm by 24 cm, each correct to the nearest cm. Work out the upper bound of its area.
  7. 7th July 1983A quadratic sequence starts 11, 15, 21, 29. Work out the second difference, and the coefficient of n^2.
  8. 8th July 1983y is directly proportional to sqrt(x). When x = 36, y = 30. Work out y when x = 49.
  9. 9th July 1983The point (8, 15) lies on the circle x^2 + y^2 = 289. Work out the gradient of the tangent to the circle at that point.
  10. 10th July 1983A bag holds 6 counters, r of them red. Two are taken without replacement and P(both red) = 2/5. Work out r.
