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

Question 9
Question 10
A straight line has equation y = 4 x + 9.
Write down the gradient of the line.
[1]
Casey says the graph of y = 4 x + 9 passes through the point (3, 23).
Is Casey correct? Show how you decide.

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.
| Colour | Green | Red |
| Relative frequency | 0.35 | 0.25 |
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.
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]
Explain why your estimate may not be reliable.

Question 12
A housing estate is built on a triangular piece of land.
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 13
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.
Write down the value of the painting when it was bought.
[1]
Write down the annual percentage increase in the expected value of the painting.
[1]
The table shows the expected value of the painting n years after it was bought.
| Years after the painting is bought (n) | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 |
| Expected value of the painting (£) | 3000 | 3600 | 4320 | 5184 |
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.
Years after the painting was bought (n)
[3]
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
The diagram shows a rectangle, OPQR, and a circle, centre O, which passes through Q. OR = 6 cm and RQ = 8 cm.
Find the circumference of the circle. Give your answer in terms of π.
[4]
AOB is a sector of a circle, centre O and radius 8 cm. Angle AOB = x °. The arc, AB, has length 2 cm. π
Find the area of the sector. Give your answer in terms of π.
[4]
Question 16
In the diagram below, the shaded region is a parallelogram. The parallelogram can be identified by four inequalities. Two of the inequalities are y ⩾ 6 and y ⩾ x.
Write down the other two inequalities that identify the parallelogram.
[3]
Work out the area of the parallelogram. You must show your working.
(b)........ square units

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 ⩽ 5 | 5 < m ⩽ 10 | 10 < m ⩽ 15 | 15 < m ⩽ 20 | 20 < m ⩽ 25 |
| Frequency | 10 | 22 | 28 | 14 | 6 |
Complete the cumulative frequency table.
| Mass (m kg) | m ⩽ 5 | m ⩽ 10 | m ⩽ 15 | m ⩽ 20 | m ⩽ 25 |
| Cumulative frequency | 10 | 32 |
[1]
Draw the cumulative frequency graph to represent these results.
[3]
Write down the upper quartile of the mass of the 80 pumpkins.
[1]
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 18
