Every sheet in August 1964

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 1964A box plot has minimum 14, lower quartile 21, median 25, upper quartile 31 and maximum 33. Work out the interquartile range.
  2. 2nd August 1964A bill is £240 including VAT at 20%. Work out the amount before VAT.
  3. 3rd August 1964For the curve y = 8/x, work out y when x = 1, and write down the equation of its vertical asymptote.

  6. 6th August 19646 of 10 bulbs in a box are faulty. Two are taken with replacement. Work out the probability at least one is faulty.
  7. 7th August 1964A capture-recapture estimate is made of the fish population of a pond. State one assumption the method relies on.
  8. 8th August 1964A code is 2 letters (A to Z) followed by 3 digits (0 to 9), and repeats are allowed. How many codes are possible?
  9. 9th August 1964Expand and simplify (x - 2)(x + 1)(x + 2).
  10. 10th August 1964A price rises by 10% and then falls by 10%. Work out the overall percentage change, to 2 decimal places.
  11. 11th August 1964A cone has base radius 5 cm and vertical height 9 cm. Work out its volume, leaving your answer in terms of pi.
  12. 12th August 19649 students study Spanish and 3 of those also study Art. One Spanish student is picked at random. Work out the probability they study Art.
  13. 13th August 1964A histogram class is 10 units wide and contains 40 values. Work out the frequency density.
  14. 14th August 1964Work out (10 x 10^10) / (2 x 10^3). Give your answer in standard form.
  15. 15th August 1964Make x the subject of y = 7x^2 - 6.

  25. 25th August 196445 newts are marked and released. Later 40 are caught, of which 5 are marked. Estimate the population.
  26. 26th August 1964Work out 16^(3/2).
  27. 27th August 1964A region is defined by y < 2x + 2. Should the boundary line be solid or dashed, and why?
