Every sheet in July 1980

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

  1. 1st July 19801 of 6 bulbs in a box are faulty. Two are taken with replacement. Work out the probability at least one is faulty.
  2. 2nd July 1980Four classes in order have frequencies 7, 3, 3, 12. Write down the cumulative frequency at the end of the third class.
  3. 3rd July 1980A code is 3 letters (A to Z) followed by 2 digits (0 to 9), and repeats are allowed. How many codes are possible?
  4. 4th July 1980Expand and simplify (x - 3)(x + 2)(x + 3).
  5. 5th July 1980y is directly proportional to x^2. When x = 6, y = 324. Work out y when x = 2.
