Every sheet in September 1975

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

  1. 1st September 1975In triangle ABC, angle A is 57°, angle B is 82° and side a is 17 cm. Use the sine rule to work out side b, to 1 decimal place.
  2. 2nd September 19752 of 7 bulbs in a box are faulty. Two are taken with replacement. Work out the probability at least one is faulty.
  3. 3rd September 1975Four classes in order have frequencies 9, 8, 3, 4. Write down the cumulative frequency at the end of the third class.
  4. 4th September 1975Work out 25^(3/2).
  5. 5th September 1975Factorise x^2 - 36.
  6. 6th September 1975y is directly proportional to x^2. When x = 5, y = 125. Work out y when x = 4.
