Every sheet in March 1976
The same date always regenerates the same five questions, so a sheet you print today is the sheet a classmate prints tomorrow.
- 1st March 1976A cumulative frequency graph is drawn for 220 values. What cumulative frequency do you read across from to estimate the lower quartile?
- 2nd March 1976A code is 3 letters (A to Z) followed by 2 digits (0 to 9), and repeats are allowed. How many codes are possible?
