Every sheet in October 1994

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

  1. 1st October 1994A region is defined by y < -5x - 8. Should the boundary line be solid or dashed, and why?
  2. 2nd October 1994y is inversely proportional to x. When x = 2, y = 20. Work out y when x = 4.
  3. 3rd October 1994The point (-1, 0) is enlarged by scale factor -3 about the centre (-4, 2). Write down the coordinates of the image.
  4. 4th October 19944 of 6 bulbs in a box are faulty. Two are taken with replacement. Work out the probability at least one is faulty.
  5. 5th October 1994Four classes in order have frequencies 12, 5, 9, 5. Write down the cumulative frequency at the end of the third class.
  6. 6th October 1994A bill is £912 including VAT at 20%. Work out the amount before VAT.
