Every sheet in July 2003

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 20035 of 9 bulbs in a box are faulty. Two are taken with replacement. Work out the probability at least one is faulty.
  2. 2nd July 2003Four classes in order have frequencies 11, 8, 5, 4. Write down the cumulative frequency at the end of the third class.
