The Anglesey Show is a two-day event held every August.
On the first day, a random sample of 2000 visitors at the show were asked:
640 of them answered 'Yes'. What was the relative frequency of those who answered ‘Yes’?
Give your answer as a decimal.
[1]
On the second day a random sample of 3000 visitors at the show were asked the same question. The relative frequency of those who answered ‘Yes’ on this day was 0·42. Calculate the relative frequency of those who said they lived on Anglesey when the samples for both days were combined.
Give your answer as a decimal.
[4]
Which of the following is most likely to give the best estimate for the relative frequency of visitors to the show living on Anglesey? Circle your answer.
You must give an explanation for your choice.

Arthur, Sian and Kezia are all given some £1 coins.
Arthur receives £n. Sian is given five times as much money as Arthur. Kezia receives three times as much money as Arthur, plus an extra £7.
Sian was given less money than Kezia.
Write down an inequality in terms of n that illustrates the fact that Sian received less
money than Kezia.
[2]
What was the greatest amount of money that Arthur could have been given?
