Every sheet in August 1966

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 1966A cone has base radius 5 cm and vertical height 6 cm. Work out its volume, leaving your answer in terms of pi.
  2. 2nd August 196623 students study Spanish and 9 of those also study Art. One Spanish student is picked at random. Work out the probability they study Art.
  3. 3rd August 1966Four classes in order have frequencies 10, 5, 5, 4. Write down the cumulative frequency at the end of the third class.
  4. 4th August 1966A code is 2 letters (A to Z) followed by 2 digits (0 to 9), and repeats are allowed. How many codes are possible?
  5. 5th August 1966Make x the subject of y = 3x^2 - 10.
  6. 6th August 1966y is directly proportional to x^2. When x = 5, y = 50. Work out y when x = 3.
