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 1994On 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?
  2. 2nd July 1994A car covers 610 m (to the nearest 10 m) in 6 s (to the nearest second). Work out the lower bound of its speed, to 2 decimal places.
  3. 3rd July 1994Make x the subject of 4x + 7 = y(x + 7).
  4. 4th July 1994A train slows steadily from 32 m/s to rest in 5 seconds. Work out its deceleration.
  5. 5th July 1994A cuboid measures 13 cm by 5 cm by 11 cm tall. Work out the angle between its longest internal diagonal and the base, to 1 decimal place.
  6. 6th July 1994A bag holds 3 red, 6 blue and 4 green counters. Two are taken without replacement. Given neither is green, what is the probability both are red?
  7. 7th July 1994A histogram has two bars: one 5 units wide with frequency density 2, one 20 units wide with density 0.6. How many values in total?
  8. 8th July 1994Rationalise the denominator of 24/sqrt(3), giving your answer in its simplest form.
  9. 9th July 1994Write 6/(x - 6) + 7/(x + 5) as a single fraction.
  10. 10th July 1994y is inversely proportional to x^2. When x = 3, y = 16. Work out y when x = 4.
  11. 11th July 1994The point (9, 12) lies on the circle x^2 + y^2 = 225. Work out the gradient of the tangent to the circle at that point.
  12. 12th July 1994A bag holds 10 counters, r of them red. Two are taken without replacement and P(both red) = 1/3. Work out r.
  13. 13th July 1994On 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?
  14. 14th July 1994Simplify sqrt(50) + sqrt(72), giving your answer in the form a sqrt(b).
  15. 15th July 1994Solve 2x^2 + 5x - 12 = 0.
  16. 16th July 1994y is directly proportional to x^3. When x = 2, y = 24. Work out y when x = 3.
  17. 17th July 1994In a circle theorem proof, a step uses the fact that a tangent meets a radius at the point of contact. State the reason being quoted.
  18. 18th July 1994The probability of winning a game is 3/10. A player expects 27 wins. How many games did they play?
  19. 19th July 1994A histogram has two bars: one 5 units wide with frequency density 2, one 10 units wide with density 0.8. How many values in total?
  20. 20th July 1994A rectangle is 26 cm by 21 cm, each correct to the nearest cm. Work out the upper bound of its area.
  21. 21st July 1994f(x) = 6x - 8. Work out the inverse function f^-1(x).
  22. 22nd July 1994y is directly proportional to sqrt(x). When x = 4, y = 16. Work out y when x = 64.
  23. 23rd July 1994In a vector proof you find that vector PQ = 4a - 2b and vector RS = 12a - 6b. What does this show about PQ and RS?
  24. 24th July 1994A bag holds 8 red and n blue counters. The probability of taking a red is 4/7. Work out n.
  25. 25th July 1994On a histogram, a 10-wide bar and a 30-wide bar have the same frequency density of 2. How many more values are in the wider class?
  26. 26th July 1994Expand and simplify (5 + sqrt(2))(5 - sqrt(2)).
  27. 27th July 1994Solve x^2 + y^2 = 25 and y = x + 1 simultaneously.
  28. 28th July 1994A train slows steadily from 13 m/s to rest in 5 seconds. Work out its deceleration.
  29. 29th July 1994A cuboid measures 3 cm by 14 cm by 10 cm. Work out the length of the longest diagonal inside it, to 1 decimal place.
  30. 30th July 1994A bag holds 4 red and 4 blue counters. Two are taken without replacement. Given the first was red, what is the probability the second is blue?
  31. 31st July 1994A 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?
