OCR GCSE Maths Paper 4: Calculator Higher June 2018 question paper J560/04

The ratio 2 centimetres to 5 metres can be written in the form 1: n.

Find the value of n.

Jay, Sheila and Harry share £7200 in the ratio 1: 2: 5.

How much does Harry receive?

Given that y¹⁸ ÷ y⁶ = y^k, find the value of k.

Write 120 as a product of its prime factors.

The lowest common multiple (LCM) of x and 120 is 360.

Find the smallest possible value of x.

Two numbers, A and B, are written as a product of prime factors.

A = 2⁴ × 3² × 7² B = 2³ × 3 × 5 × 7

Find the highest common factor (HCF) of A and B.

Lee wishes to find out if there is a relationship between a person’s age and the time it takes them to complete a puzzle.

Lee decides to conduct an experiment. She asks 12 people to complete the puzzle. She records each person’s age and the time taken to complete the puzzle.

Make one criticism of Lee’s method.

This scatter diagram shows the results for ten of the people in Lee’s experiment.

Here are the other two results.

Plot these results on the scatter diagram.

What type of correlation is shown in the scatter diagram?

Estimate the time it would take a person aged 35 to complete the puzzle.

Show your working to justify your answer.

Lee says that at least 80% of the 12 people completed the puzzle in under 30 seconds.

Is Lee correct? Show working to support your answer.

The scale diagram below shows two cities, P and Q.

A plane departs from P at 09 47 and arrives at Q at 12 07.

Work out the average speed, in kilometres per hour, of the plane.

Give one reason why your answer may be inaccurate.

Triangles A and B are drawn on a coordinate grid.

Describe fully the single transformation that maps triangle A onto triangle B.

Triangle A can also be mapped onto triangle B using a combination of two transformations:

• a transformation T, followed by

• a reflection in the line x = 0.

Describe fully transformation T.

The scale diagram below shows towns, A, B and C. Line AB represents the road from A to B and line AC represents the road from A to C.

A shopping centre is to be built so that it is

• nearer to the road from A to B than the road from A to C,

• less than 14 km from town C.

Using construction, shade the region where the shopping centre could be built. Show all your construction lines.

Scale: 1 cm represents 2 km

Explain why the region found in part (a) may not be an appropriate site for the shopping centre.

A, B, C and D are points on the circumference of a circle, centre O.

Angle CAD = 28° and CD = 6.4 cm. BD is a diameter of the circle.

Calculate the area of the circle.

The dimensions, in centimetres, of this rectangle are shown as algebraic expressions.

5 x – y – 8
Not to scale

Work out the length and width of the rectangle.

60% of the people in a town are males. 20% of the males are left-handed. 21.6% of all the people are left-handed.

Work out the percentage of the people who are not male who are left-handed.

y is directly proportional to the square of x.

Find the percentage increase in y when x is increased by 15%.

The value of a car, £ V, is given by

V = 16 500 × 0.82ⁿ

where n is the number of years after it is bought from new.

Write down the value of the car when new.

Write down the annual percentage decrease in the value of the car.

Show that the value of the car after 4 years is less than half its value when new.

A menu has

• 6 starters

• 10 main dishes

• 7 desserts.

A three-course meal consists of a starter, a main dish and a dessert.

How many different three-course meals are possible?

A two-course meal consists either of a starter with a main dish, a starter with a dessert or a main dish with a dessert.

Show that there are 172 possible different two-course meals.

The Venn diagram shows the number of students studying Mathematics (M) and the number of students studying Physics (P) in a college. 35 students do not study either subject.

The total number of students is 121.

Find the value of x.

One of the 121 students is selected at random.

Find the probability that this student studies Mathematics, given that they study Physics.

Write x² – 8x + 25 in the form (x – a)² + b.

Write down the coordinates of the turning point of the graph of y = x² – 8x + 25.

Hence describe the single transformation which maps the graph of y = x² onto the graph of y = x² – 8x + 25.

Solve by factorisation.

3x² + 11x – 20 = 0

For each graph below, select its possible equation from this list.

Calculate the area of this triangle.

Here are the first four terms of a quadratic sequence.

0 9 22 39

The nth term can be written as an² + bn + c.

Find the values of a, b and c.

Solve this equation, giving your answers correct to 1 decimal place.
