Printing for a group?
The batch download puts all 2 tiers' August 2001 sheets in a single PDF, each tier behind its own divider page - 62 sheets in one file.
Every sheet in August 2001
The same date always regenerates the same five questions, so a sheet you print today is the sheet a classmate prints tomorrow.
- 1st August 2001A class has 12 boys and 8 girls. One student, a girl, leaves the room. A second student is then chosen at random from those remaining. Find P(second student chosen is a girl given the first was a girl).
- 2nd August 2001A newspaper bar chart showing company profit over 5 years has no vertical axis labels or scale, just bars of different heights. Explain the problem with this.
- 3rd August 2001Find the midpoint of the class interval 30-50.

- 5th August 2001Find the 3-point moving average of 14, 18, 20.
- 6th August 2001A card is drawn at random from a normal 52-card pack. Find P(drawing a King or a Queen).
- 7th August 2001A histogram for exam scores has bars of equal width 10 marks, covering 0-10, 10-20, 20-30, 30-40, with heights 2, 8, 15, 5. How many students took the exam?
- 8th August 2001Name the five values needed to draw a box plot.

- 11th August 2001A youth club has 45 members under 13 and 75 members aged 13 to 17 (120 total). A stratified sample of 40 members is needed. How many aged 13 to 17 should be sampled?
- 12th August 2001A different table shows test scores out of 5 for 30 students: 1 (freq 3), 2 (freq 5), 3 (freq 9), 4 (freq 8), 5 (freq 5). Find the mean score.
