Every sheet in January 2002

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

  1. 1st January 20029 students study Spanish and 3 of those also study Art. One Spanish student is picked at random. Work out the probability they study Art.
  2. 2nd January 2002Four classes in order have frequencies 5, 10, 10, 5. Write down the cumulative frequency at the end of the third class.
