Every sheet in November 1984

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

  1. 1st November 19847 of 10 bulbs in a box are faulty. Two are taken with replacement. Work out the probability at least one is faulty.
  2. 2nd November 1984A capture-recapture estimate is made of the beetle population of a woodland. State one assumption the method relies on.
  3. 3rd November 1984A code is 2 letters (A to Z) followed by 2 digits (0 to 9), and repeats are allowed. How many codes are possible?
