Every sheet in August 1963

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

  1. 1st August 1963A histogram class is 10 units wide and contains 20 values. Work out the frequency density.
  2. 2nd August 1963Write sqrt(18) in the form a sqrt(b), where b is as small as possible.
