Question 3

The graph shows the time, in minutes, taken by some pupils to travel to school on Tuesday.

Figure for question 3

Less than 10 10 to 30 More than 30

Time (minutes)

(a)

Find the percentage of these pupils that took more than 30 minutes to travel to school.

[3]

(b)

On Tuesday the number of pupils taking 10 to 30 minutes to travel to school was 25% less than on Monday.

Find the number of pupils taking 10 to 30 minutes to travel to school on Monday.

Question 5

Anika has a shelf 79.6 cm long. She has many books, each of width 3.4 cm. Anika puts two paperweights, each of width 5 cm, and the maximum possible number of books on the shelf.

Work out the amount of space on the shelf that is left over. You must show your working.

[5]

Question 6

Jack has ten cards numbered 11 to 20. He picks a card at random.

Jack says,

In these ten cards, there are two multiples of 5 and five even numbers. Therefore, the probability that I pick a card that is a multiple of 5 or an even number is

Question 6, shown as an image

Describe the error in Jack’s method and give the correct answer.

The correct answer is........

Question 11

A bag only contains green, red, blue and yellow discs.

Orla carries out an experiment. She picks one disc at a time from the bag, records its colour and then returns the disc to the bag. When she has finished the experiment, Orla works out the relative frequency of each colour. Some of her results are shown in the table.

ColourGreenRed
Relative frequency0.350.25

The relative frequency of the yellow discs was three times the relative frequency of the blue discs.

In total, there are 2000 discs in the bag.

(a)

Use this information to find an estimate for the total number of green and yellow discs that are in the bag. You must show your working.

[5]

(b)

Explain why your estimate may not be reliable.

Question 12, shown as an image

There are 3951 people living on the estate.

Work out an estimate of the population density of the estate in people per km2.

[4]

Question 14

The expected value of a painting, £ P, is given by the formula

P = 2500 × 1.2n

where n is the number of years after it was bought and 0 ⩽ n ⩽ 4.

(a)

Write down the value of the painting when it was bought.

[1]

(b)

Write down the annual percentage increase in the expected value of the painting.

[1]

(c)

The table shows the expected value of the painting n years after it was bought.

Years after the painting is bought (n)1234
Expected value of the painting (£)3000360043205184

On the page opposite, draw a suitable graph to show the expected value of the painting n years after it was bought, where 0 ⩽ n ⩽ 4.

Figure for question 14

Years after the painting was bought (n)

[3]

(d)

An art collector correctly works out 2500 × 1.210 as 15479.

They say,

The expected value of the painting 10 years after it was bought is £15479.

What assumption has the art collector made.

[1]

Question 15

(a)

The diagram shows a rectangle, OPQR, and a circle, centre O, which passes through Q. OR = 6 cm and RQ = 8 cm.

Figure for question 15

Find the circumference of the circle. Give your answer in terms of π.

[4]

(b)

AOB is a sector of a circle, centre O and radius 8 cm. Angle AOB = x °. The arc, AB, has length 2 cm. π

Figure for question 15

Find the area of the sector. Give your answer in terms of π.

[4]

Question 17

A farmer grows pumpkins. The farmer records the masses, m kilograms, of 80 of their pumpkins. The table shows the results.

Mass (m kg)0 < m ⩽ 55 < m ⩽ 1010 < m ⩽ 1515 < m ⩽ 2020 < m ⩽ 25
Frequency102228146
(a)

Complete the cumulative frequency table.

Mass (m kg)m ⩽ 5m ⩽ 10m ⩽ 15m ⩽ 20m ⩽ 25
Cumulative frequency1032

[1]

(b)

Draw the cumulative frequency graph to represent these results.

Figure for question 17

[3]

(c)

Write down the upper quartile of the mass of the 80 pumpkins.

[1]

(d)

The farmer picks a pumpkin at random.

Find an estimate for the probability that the pumpkin has a mass greater than 18 kg.

[2]

Question 19

A, B, C and D are points on the circumference of a circle, centre O. BD is a diameter of the circle. EBF is a tangent to the circle.

Figure for question 19
(a)

Give a reason why angle BAD = 90°.

[1]
