Every sheet in September 1952

The same date always regenerates the same five questions, so a sheet you print today is the sheet a classmate prints tomorrow.

  1. 1st September 1952In triangle ABC, angle A is 68°, angle B is 62° and side a is 9 cm. Use the sine rule to work out side b, to 1 decimal place.
  2. 2nd September 19521 of 5 bulbs in a box are faulty. Two are taken with replacement. Work out the probability at least one is faulty.
  3. 3rd September 1952Four classes in order have frequencies 12, 7, 11, 6. Write down the cumulative frequency at the end of the third class.
  4. 4th September 1952A code is 3 letters (A to Z) followed by 2 digits (0 to 9), and repeats are allowed. How many codes are possible?
  5. 5th September 1952Factorise x^2 - 100.
  6. 6th September 1952y is directly proportional to x^2. When x = 3, y = 54. Work out y when x = 5.

  8. 8th September 195232 students study Spanish and 12 of those also study Art. One Spanish student is picked at random. Work out the probability they study Art.
  9. 9th September 195245 voles are marked and released. Later 77 are caught, of which 7 are marked. Estimate the population.
  10. 10th September 1952Work out (24 x 10^11) / (8 x 10^3). Give your answer in standard form.
  11. 11th September 1952A region is defined by y < 2x + 2. Should the boundary line be solid or dashed, and why?
  12. 12th September 1952y is directly proportional to x. When x = 2, y = 22. Work out y when x = 4.

  14. 14th September 19522 of 8 bulbs in a box are faulty. Two are taken with replacement. Work out the probability at least one is faulty.
  15. 15th September 1952A cumulative frequency graph is drawn for 128 values. What cumulative frequency do you read across from to estimate the lower quartile?
  16. 16th September 1952Write the recurring decimal 0.444... as a fraction in its simplest form.
  17. 17th September 1952Factorise x^2 + 5x - 36.
