Printing for a group?
The batch download puts all 2 tiers' July 2015 sheets in a single PDF, each tier behind its own divider page - 62 sheets in one file.
Every sheet in July 2015
The same date always regenerates the same five questions, so a sheet you print today is the sheet a classmate prints tomorrow.
- 1st July 2015A 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?
- 2nd July 2015Name the five values needed to draw a box plot.
- 3rd July 2015Give one reason you might choose to keep an outlier in a data set rather than remove it.
- 4th July 2015A region records 90 crimes in a population of 45,000. Find the crude crime rate per 1000 people.
- 5th July 2015A 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?
- 6th July 2015A 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.
- 7th July 2015Class A has a mean test score of 62 and Class B has a mean of 58. Which class did better on average?
- 8th July 2015A rent index shows 2019 = 100 and 2024 = 118. Find the actual rent in 2024 if the 2019 rent was 650 pounds.
- 9th July 2015A fair coin is flipped once. What is P(heads)?
- 10th July 2015Student 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?
- 11th July 2015A coin is flipped twice. Find the probability of getting two heads.
- 12th July 2015A pyramid is roughly the same width all the way up, with only a slightly narrower top. What does this suggest?
- 13th July 2015A distribution has mean = mode = median. What does this suggest about its shape?
- 14th July 2015A garden centre sampled 45 out of 3000 trees and found 40 had survived the winter. Estimate how many of the 3000 trees survived the winter.
- 15th July 2015A set of 7 numbers has a mean of 12. Find the total of all 7 numbers.

- 17th July 2015What is meant by the independent variable in an experiment?
- 18th July 2015Why must class intervals in a grouped frequency table not overlap?
- 19th July 2015Chart A represents 80 votes and has a 'Green Party' sector of 45 degrees. Chart B represents 150 votes and has a 'Green Party' sector of 30 degrees. Which chart represents more actual Green Party votes?
- 20th July 2015Using the pupils in the previous question, find P(likes football only).
- 21st July 2015A line of best fit passes through the points (0, 4) and (10, 24). Find its gradient.
