Every sheet in January 1976

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 1976A histogram class is 4 units wide and contains 8 values. Work out the frequency density.
  2. 2nd January 1976Work out (27 x 10^8) / (9 x 10^5). Give your answer in standard form.
