- 1Conditional Probability3 marks
A bag holds 4 red and 5 blue counters. Two are taken without replacement. Given the first was red, what is the probability the second is blue?
- 2Histograms3 marks
A histogram has four 10-wide classes from 0, with frequency densities 1, 0.5, 3, 2. Which class contains the median?
- 3Bounds3 marks
A block has mass 840 g (to the nearest 10 g) and volume 22 cm^3 (to the nearest cm^3). Work out the upper bound of its density, to 2 decimal places.
- 4Quadratic Simultaneous Equations3 marks
Solve x^2 + y^2 = 100 and y = x + 2 simultaneously.
- 5Direct and Inverse Proportion Depth3 marks
y is directly proportional to sqrt(x). When x = 25, y = 40. Work out y when x = 36.
