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

  1. 1st March 196122 students study Spanish and 9 of those also study Art. One Spanish student is picked at random. Work out the probability they study Art.
  2. 2nd March 1961A histogram class is 5 units wide and contains 10 values. Work out the frequency density.
