Every sheet in February 1995

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

  1. 1st February 19952 of 5 bulbs in a box are faulty. Two are taken with replacement. Work out the probability at least one is faulty.
  2. 2nd February 1995A histogram class is 2 units wide and contains 4 values. Work out the frequency density.
