(b)

How can you use your table to check that all the balls have been counted?

[1]

(c)

The 25 balls are placed in a box. One ball is chosen at random.

What is the probability that it is a yellow ball numbered less than 100?

Question 4

(a)

Write down the next two numbers in the following sequence.

−19 −15 −11 −7 ……. ………

(b)

Rods are used to make a sequence of patterns as shown below.

Figure for question 4

Pattern 1 uses six rods.

(b)(i)

How many rods are required to draw Pattern 4?

[1]

(b)(ii)

Pattern 37 requires 186 rods.

How many rods are required to draw Pattern 38?

[1]

(c)

Describe in words the rule used in the following sequence.

Question 5

In this question, you must use only the numbers 3 and 7 to make other numbers.

You must only add or subtract.

For example, if we wanted an answer of 11, we could write

7 + 7 – 3 = 11.

Question 6

A Venn diagram is used to show the following information:

• The Universal set, ε, is the set of numbers from 10 to 20 inclusive. • Set A = {11, 13, 14, 18, 20}. • Set B = {multiples of 3}.

Draw the Venn diagram that shows the above information.

Question 15

The Anglesey Show is a two-day event held every August.

(b)

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]

(c)

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.

Question 17

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.

(a)

Write down an inequality in terms of n that illustrates the fact that Sian received less

money than Kezia.

[2]

(b)

What was the greatest amount of money that Arthur could have been given?
