The batch download puts all 2 tiers' October 2025 sheets in a single PDF, each tier behind its own divider page - 62 sheets in one file.
Every sheet in October 2025
The same date always regenerates the same five questions, so a sheet you print today is the sheet a classmate prints tomorrow.
- 1st October 2025The equation of a regression line is y = 3 + 2x. Find y when x = 5.
- 2nd October 2025A frequency table has intervals 0-10 (frequency 15) and 10-15 (frequency 20). Calculate the frequency density for each.
- 3rd October 2025Using the data in the previous question, a delegate aged 65 attends. Is this delegate's age an outlier? Explain.
- 4th October 2025P(A) = 0.4, P(B) = 0.3, P(A and B) = 0.1. Find P(A or B).
- 5th October 2025Find the midpoint of the class interval 30-50.
- 6th October 2025Explain why a pilot survey should be carried out before the full survey is sent out.
- 7th October 2025Find the 3-point moving average of 14, 18, 20.
- 8th October 2025A game has four mutually exclusive outcomes: win, draw, lose, abandoned. P(win) = 0.45, P(draw) = 0.2, P(abandoned) = 0.05. Find P(lose).
- 9th October 2025Using the same histogram, how many students scored between 10 and 30 marks?
- 10th October 2025A box plot for 40 values has lower quartile 15 and upper quartile 25. Roughly how many of the 40 values lie between 15 and 25?
- 11th October 2025A set of weekly pocket money amounts, in pounds, is: 5, 6, 5, 500, 7, 6. Identify the likely outlier.
- 12th October 2025IQ scores are normally distributed with mean 100 and standard deviation 15. Out of 1000 people, estimate how many have an IQ above 130.
- 13th October 2025A PMCC value of r = 0.85 is calculated for two variables. Describe the strength and direction of the correlation.
- 14th October 2025Two intervals both have frequency 30: one has width 5 and one has width 15. Explain which interval has the taller histogram bar, and why.
- 15th October 2025A data set has Q1 = 15 and Q3 = 45. Calculate both outlier boundaries.
- 16th October 2025P(A) = 0.55 and P(B) = 0.4. Events A and B are mutually exclusive. Find P(A or B).
- 17th October 2025A table has class intervals with frequency x midpoint totals of 45, 120, 90 and frequencies 5, 8, 6. Find the estimated mean.
- 18th October 2025Give one reason why the response options '0-5, 5-10, 10-15' are a poor choice for hours of homework.
- 19th October 2025Find the 4-point moving average of 8, 12, 16, 20.
- 20th October 2025P(rain) = 0.3 and P(snow) = 0.05 on a given day, and rain and snow are mutually exclusive that day. Find P(rain or snow).
- 21st October 2025A histogram has unequal class widths. Explain why the height of a bar can no longer be read directly as the frequency.
- 22nd October 2025Box plot A has a median of 50 and box plot B has a median of 42, for the same type of data. What does this tell you about the two data sets?
- 23rd October 2025A data set of ages is: 12, 13, 12, 14, -12, 13. Which value is clearly an error, and why?
- 24th October 2025A normal distribution has mean 100 and standard deviation 15. What range contains approximately 95% of the data?
- 25th October 2025A PMCC value of r = -0.2 is calculated. Describe the correlation.
- 26th October 2025A class interval 10-30 (width 20) has frequency density 3. Find the frequency.
- 27th October 2025A cumulative frequency graph for 100 test scores gives Q1 = 40, median = 58, Q3 = 70, minimum = 5, maximum = 98. Determine which of the minimum and maximum should be plotted as individual outliers.
- 28th October 2025P(A) = 0.6, P(A or B) = 0.75, and P(A and B) = 0.2. Find P(B).
- 29th October 2025The table shows weights, in kg, of 20 parcels: 0-5 (freq 4), 5-10 (freq 10), 10-15 (freq 6). Estimate the mean weight.
- 30th October 2025Rewrite the response options '0-5, 5-10, 10-15' so that they no longer overlap.
- 31st October 2025A series of 4-point moving averages is 45, 48, 52, 55. Describe the trend shown by these values.
