  2. Jalina left her home at 10 00 to cycle to a park.
    On her way to the park, she stopped at a friend’s house and then continued her journey to the park.
    Here is the distance-time graph for her journey to the park.
    (a) On her journey to the park, did Jalina cycle at a faster speed before or after she stopped at her friend’s house?
    Give a reason for your answer.
    Jalina stayed at the park for 45 minutes.
    She then cycled, without stopping, at a constant speed of 16 km/h from the park back to her home.
    (b) Show all this information on the distance-time graph.
    (c) Work out Jalina’s average cycling speed, in kilometres per hour, for the complete journey to the park and back.
    Do not include the times when she was not cycling in your calculation. Give your answer correct to 1 decimal place.

  4. (a) Complete the table of values for y = x2 - 3x - 1
    (b) On the grid, draw the graph of y = x2 - 3x - 1 for all values of x from 2 to 4.



  1. Becky has a biased 6-sided dice.
    The table gives information about the probability that, when the dice is thrown, it will land on each number.
    Becky is going to throw the dice 200 times.
    Work out an estimate for the number of times that the dice will land on an even number.

    (a) Complete the probability tree diagram.
    (b) Work out the probability that there are two boys in the team.
    After the first team has been picked, a second team is picked.
    One child is picked at random from the children left in group C and one child is picked at random from the children left in group D.
    (c) Work out the probability that there are two boys in each of the two teams.
  10. E = {positive integers less than 20}
    A = {x : x < 12}
