Printing for a group?
The batch download puts all 2 tiers' September 2004 sheets in a single PDF, each tier behind its own divider page - 60 sheets in one file.
Every sheet in September 2004
The same date always regenerates the same five questions, so a sheet you print today is the sheet a classmate prints tomorrow.

- 2nd September 2004A 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).
- 3rd September 2004A 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.
- 4th September 2004Find the midpoint of the class interval 30-50.

- 6th September 2004Find the 3-point moving average of 14, 18, 20.
- 7th September 2004A card is drawn at random from a normal 52-card pack. Find P(drawing a King or a Queen).
- 8th September 2004A 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?

- 12th September 2004A 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?
- 13th September 2004A 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.
- 14th September 2004Class A has a mean test score of 62 and Class B has a mean of 58. Which class did better on average?

- 16th September 2004A fair coin is flipped once. What is P(heads)?
- 17th September 2004Student A rolls a dice 20 times and gets a 6 four times. Student B rolls the same dice 300 times and gets a 6 forty-eight times. Whose relative frequency is a more reliable estimate of the true probability, and what is it?
- 18th September 2004A coin is flipped twice. Find the probability of getting two heads.
- 19th September 2004A pyramid is roughly the same width all the way up, with only a slightly narrower top. What does this suggest?
