Every sheet in November 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 November 1963Make x the subject of y = 4x^2 - 11.
  2. 2nd November 1963y is directly proportional to x^2. When x = 4, y = 144. Work out y when x = 9.

  4. 4th November 19634 of 9 bulbs in a box are faulty. Two are taken with replacement. Work out the probability at least one is faulty.
  5. 5th November 196325 fish are marked and released. Later 60 are caught, of which 6 are marked. Estimate the population.
  6. 6th November 1963Write the recurring decimal 0.5959... as a fraction in its simplest form.
