Printing for a group?
The batch download puts all 2 tiers' May 2019 sheets in a single PDF, each tier behind its own divider page - 62 sheets in one file.
Every sheet in May 2019
The same date always regenerates the same five questions, so a sheet you print today is the sheet a classmate prints tomorrow.
- 1st May 2019Using two fair six-sided dice added together, how many ways can you score a total of 7?
- 2nd May 2019Find the midpoint of the class interval 10-20.

- 11th May 2019A 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?

- 15th May 2019A 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?
- 16th May 2019A 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.
- 17th May 2019Class A has a mean test score of 62 and Class B has a mean of 58. Which class did better on average?
- 18th May 2019A rent index shows 2019 = 100 and 2024 = 118. Find the actual rent in 2024 if the 2019 rent was 650 pounds.
- 19th May 2019A fair coin is flipped once. What is P(heads)?
- 20th May 2019Student 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?

- 27th May 2019What is meant by the independent variable in an experiment?
- 28th May 2019Why must class intervals in a grouped frequency table not overlap?
