Question 5

A fair spinner has five sides. Each side is labelled A or B.

This diagram shows a probability scale.

Figure for question 5

The arrow shows the probability that the spinner lands on an A.

(a)

Circle the word that best describes this probability.

Likely Impossible Unlikely Certain

[1]

(b)

Here is the spinner with two sides labelled.

Figure for question 5

Label the other sides with A or B to give the correct probability of landing on an A.

Question 8

This table shows the ticket price for each person to visit a zoo in winter.

Type of ticketTicket price

Question 16

In a dance competition, two judges each award scores out of 30. The scatter diagram shows the scores awarded to the first 10 dancers.

Figure for question 16
(a)

Here are the scores for the next two dancers.

Judge A217
Judge B188

Plot their scores on the scatter diagram.

[1]

(b)

Dancers who are awarded a score of more than 20 by both judges receive a medal.

For the 12 dancers, express the ratio of medal winners to non-medal winners in its simplest form.

[3]

(c)

This chart shows the types of dance performed by the 12 dancers.

3 performed a street dance, 8 performed a jazz dance and 1 performed a tap dance.

Figure for question 16

Why is this diagram misleading?

[1]

Question 20

A bee flies from its hive to a flower at a constant speed of 7.5 metres per second for 10 seconds. The bee then takes 15 seconds to fly back to the hive. Assume the bee always flies in a straight line.

(a)

Ignoring the time spent at the flower, work out the overall average speed of the bee in its flight from the hive to the flower and back.

(a)........ metres per second

[4]

(b)

If the bee is not assumed to fly in a straight line, how might your answer be affected?

[1]

Question 22

A newborn baby has an approximate mass of 3.5 kilograms.

A human cell has an approximate mass of 2.7 × 10-11 grams.

Use these values to estimate the number of human cells in a newborn baby. Give your answer in standard form, correct to 2 significant figures.

[5]

Question 23

This map shows part of a village.

Figure for question 23

Neil knows that Packer Street is 180 m long in real life.

(a)

Neil measures the map.

He says

Packer Street is 3.5 cm long. High Street is 11.2 cm long.

Therefore, I calculate that High Street is 576 m long in real life.

Use Neil’s figures to show that the answer to his calculation is correct.

[3]

(b)

Jodie measures the same map.

She says

I think Packer Street is longer than Neil’s measurement of 3.5 cm. Therefore, High Street must be longer than 576 m in real life.

Is Jodie’s reasoning correct? Show how you decide.

[2]

(c)

On another map, Packer Street is 2.4 cm long.

Express the scale of this map in the form 1: n.

[2]

Question 25

The diagram shows a square with four identical corners shaded.

Figure for question 25

The length of each side of the square is 3 x cm. The length of each shaded corner is x cm.

Question 25, shown as an image

Show all your working.
