- 1Perpendicular Lines and the equation of a tangent3 marks
The point (6, 8) lies on the circle x^2 + y^2 = 100. Work out the gradient of the tangent to the circle at that point.
- 2Conditional Probability3 marks
A bag holds 6 red, 4 blue and 5 green counters. Two are taken without replacement. Given neither is green, what is the probability both are red?
- 3Histograms3 marks
A histogram has two bars: one 10 units wide with frequency density 1.5, one 20 units wide with density 0.8. How many values in total?
- 4Bounds3 marks
x = 160 and y = 71, each correct to the nearest whole number. Work out the upper bound of x - y.
- 5Proof2 marks
