Every sheet in August 1973

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 197323 students study Spanish and 4 of those also study Art. One Spanish student is picked at random. Work out the probability they study Art.
  2. 2nd August 1973A histogram class is 10 units wide and contains 40 values. Work out the frequency density.
  3. 3rd August 1973Work out (2 x 10^8) x (4 x 10^4). Give your answer in standard form.
  4. 4th August 1973A region is defined by y < 2x + 5. Should the boundary line be solid or dashed, and why?
  5. 5th August 1973y is inversely proportional to x. When x = 3, y = 4. Work out y when x = 4.
  6. 6th August 1973The point (-5, -2) is enlarged by scale factor -1 about the centre (1, -3). Write down the coordinates of the image.
  7. 7th August 19736 of 9 bulbs in a box are faulty. Two are taken with replacement. Work out the probability at least one is faulty.
  8. 8th August 1973Four classes in order have frequencies 11, 12, 11, 10. Write down the cumulative frequency at the end of the third class.
