- 1Perpendicular Lines and the equation of a tangent3 marks
The point (7, 24) lies on the circle x^2 + y^2 = 625. Work out the gradient of the tangent to the circle at that point.
- 2Conditional Probability3 marks
A bag holds 6 red, 6 blue and 3 green counters. Two are taken without replacement. Given neither is green, what is the probability both are red?
- 3Histograms2 marks
On 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?
- 4Bounds3 marks
x = 182 and y = 76, each correct to the nearest whole number. Work out the upper bound of x - y.
