Every sheet in June 1986

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 1986On a histogram, a 10-wide bar and a 40-wide bar have the same frequency density of 2. How many more values are in the wider class?
  2. 2nd June 1986A block has mass 470 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.
  3. 3rd June 1986Write 3/(x + 1) + 5/(x + 3) as a single fraction.
  4. 4th June 1986A train slows steadily from 31 m/s to rest in 4 seconds. Work out its deceleration.
  5. 5th June 1986In a vector proof you find that vector PQ = 2a - b and vector RS = 4a - 2b. What does this show about PQ and RS?
  6. 6th June 1986A bag holds 7 red and n blue counters. The probability of taking a red is 7/11. Work out n.
  7. 7th June 1986A histogram has two bars: one 20 units wide with frequency density 2.5, one 10 units wide with density 1.4. How many values in total?
  8. 8th June 1986x = 68 and y = 16, each correct to the nearest whole number. Work out the upper bound of x - y.
  9. 9th June 1986Solve 8x^2 + 18x - 5 = 0.
  10. 10th June 1986y is inversely proportional to x^2. When x = 3, y = 16. Work out y when x = 2.
  11. 11th June 1986A cuboid measures 7 cm by 5 cm by 11 cm. Work out the length of the longest diagonal inside it, to 1 decimal place.
  12. 12th June 1986A bag holds 3 red and 11 blue counters. Two are taken without replacement. Given the first was red, what is the probability the second is blue?
  13. 13th June 1986On a histogram, a 5-wide bar and a 10-wide bar have the same frequency density of 1.5. How many more values are in the wider class?
  14. 14th June 1986A car covers 620 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.
  15. 15th June 1986f(x) = 6x - 5. Work out the inverse function f^-1(x).
  16. 16th June 1986y is directly proportional to x^3. When x = 4, y = 192. Work out y when x = 5.
  17. 17th June 1986A cuboid measures 7 cm by 9 cm by 5 cm tall. Work out the angle between its longest internal diagonal and the base, to 1 decimal place.
  18. 18th June 1986A bag holds 6 red, 6 blue and 4 green counters. Two are taken without replacement. Given neither is green, what is the probability both are red?
  19. 19th June 1986A histogram has two bars: one 10 units wide with frequency density 2, one 5 units wide with density 0.6. How many values in total?
  20. 20th June 1986Rationalise the denominator of 16/sqrt(2), giving your answer in its simplest form.
  21. 21st June 1986Solve x^2 + y^2 = 225 and y = x - 3 simultaneously.
  22. 22nd June 1986y is directly proportional to sqrt(x). When x = 49, y = 21. Work out y when x = 36.
  23. 23rd June 1986The point (12, 16) lies on the circle x^2 + y^2 = 400. Work out the gradient of the tangent to the circle at that point.
  24. 24th June 1986A bag holds 6 counters, r of them red. Two are taken without replacement and P(both red) = 1/15. Work out r.
  25. 25th June 1986On 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?
  26. 26th June 1986Simplify sqrt(20) + sqrt(5), giving your answer in the form a sqrt(b).
