Every sheet in April 1954

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

  1. 1st April 19547 of 9 bulbs in a box are faulty. Two are taken with replacement. Work out the probability at least one is faulty.
  2. 2nd April 1954A capture-recapture estimate is made of the ladybird population of a garden. State one assumption the method relies on.
  3. 3rd April 1954Work out (8 x 10^3) x (5 x 10^5). Give your answer in standard form.
