Every sheet in January 1970

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

  1. 1st January 197015 students study Spanish and 5 of those also study Art. One Spanish student is picked at random. Work out the probability they study Art.
  2. 2nd January 1970A capture-recapture estimate is made of the newt population of a stream. State one assumption the method relies on.
  3. 3rd January 1970A bill is £168 including VAT at 20%. Work out the amount before VAT.
  4. 4th January 1970Make x the subject of y = 7x^2 - 10.
  5. 5th January 1970A price rises by 15% and then falls by 10%. Work out the overall percentage change, to 2 decimal places.
  6. 6th January 1970In triangle ABC, angle A is 42°, angle B is 38° and side a is 15 cm. Use the sine rule to work out side b, to 1 decimal place.
  7. 7th January 19703 of 5 bulbs in a box are faulty. Two are taken with replacement. Work out the probability at least one is faulty.
  8. 8th January 1970A histogram class is 2 units wide and contains 1 values. Work out the frequency density.
  9. 9th January 1970A code is 2 letters (A to Z) followed by 2 digits (0 to 9), and repeats are allowed. How many codes are possible?
  10. 10th January 1970Factorise x^2 - 100.
  11. 11th January 1970y is inversely proportional to x. When x = 9, y = 4. Work out y when x = 4.
  12. 12th January 1970A right-angled triangle has sides 6 cm, 8 cm and 10 cm. Work out the angle opposite the 6 cm side, to 1 decimal place.
  13. 13th January 197016 students study Spanish and 9 of those also study Art. One Spanish student is picked at random. Work out the probability they study Art.
  14. 14th January 1970Four classes in order have frequencies 5, 11, 8, 9. Write down the cumulative frequency at the end of the third class.
  15. 15th January 1970Work out (45 x 10^10) / (9 x 10^4). Give your answer in standard form.
  16. 16th January 1970A region is defined by y <= -2x + 9. Should the boundary line be solid or dashed, and why?
  17. 17th January 1970y is directly proportional to x^2. When x = 4, y = 144. Work out y when x = 8.

  19. 19th January 19701 of 6 bulbs in a box are faulty. Two are taken with replacement. Work out the probability at least one is faulty.
  20. 20th January 197050 newts are marked and released. Later 56 are caught, of which 8 are marked. Estimate the population.
  21. 21st January 1970Write the recurring decimal 0.222... as a fraction in its simplest form.
  22. 22nd January 1970Factorise x^2 - 2x - 8.
