  1. 1
    Perpendicular Lines and the equation of a tangent3 marks

    The 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.

  2. 2
    Conditional Probability3 marks

    A bag holds 5 red, 7 blue and 2 green counters. Two are taken without replacement. Given neither is green, what is the probability both are red?

  3. 3
    Histograms3 marks

    A 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?

  4. 4
    Bounds3 marks

    A block has mass 250 g (to the nearest 10 g) and volume 9 cm^3 (to the nearest cm^3). Work out the upper bound of its density, to 2 decimal places.

  5. 5
