Printing for a group?
The batch download puts all 2 tiers' May 2026 sheets in a single PDF, each tier behind its own divider page - 62 sheets in one file.
Every sheet in May 2026
The same date always regenerates the same five questions, so a sheet you print today is the sheet a classmate prints tomorrow.
- 1st May 2026Student 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?

- 3rd May 2026A pyramid is roughly the same width all the way up, with only a slightly narrower top. What does this suggest?
- 4th May 2026A distribution has mean = mode = median. What does this suggest about its shape?
- 5th May 2026A 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.
- 6th May 2026A set of 7 numbers has a mean of 12. Find the total of all 7 numbers.
