Sample HSC Year 11 Mathematics Standard questions

These sample questions are visible on the page before login. They show HSC Year 11 Mathematics Standard finance, measurement, networks, data, probability, and trigonometry explanations before opening the demo.

HSC Year 11 Mathematics Standard Financial mathematics hard growth graph

1. Option A invests $8000 at 6% p.a. compounded monthly for 2 years. Option B pays 6.2% p.a. simple interest for 2 years. Which return is better, to the nearest cent?

Compound and simple interest comparison A B n $
Choices
  • Option A by $25.28
  • Option B by $25.28
  • Option A by $992.00
  • The returns are equal
Explanation:

Option A grows to $8000(1.005)24 = $9017.28. Option B grows to $8000 + $8000 x 0.062 x 2 = $8992.00. Option A is higher by $25.28.

HSC Year 11 Mathematics Standard Scale and measurement hard scale plan

2. A floor plan uses a scale of 1:80. A study measures 7.5 cm by 4.2 cm on the plan. What is the actual area of the study?

Scale plan of a study 7.5 4.2 1:80
Choices
  • 20.16 m2
  • 3.15 m2
  • 31.5 m2
  • 201.6 m2
Explanation:

At a scale of 1:80, 7.5 cm represents 6.0 m and 4.2 cm represents 3.36 m. The area is 6.0 x 3.36 = 20.16 m2.

HSC Year 11 Mathematics Standard Networks hard network diagram

3. A minimum cable network uses selected edges with lengths 4 m, 5 m, 7 m, 8 m and 9 m. What total cable length is needed?

Minimum spanning network A F 33
Choices
  • 33 m
  • 24 m
  • 29 m
  • 38 m
Explanation:

A minimum spanning network connects all vertices without a loop. Add the selected edge lengths: 4 + 5 + 7 + 8 + 9 = 33 m.

HSC Year 11 Mathematics Standard Data analysis hard regression graph

4. A regression model predicts water use with y = 18 + 1.6x, where x is the number of residents. For x = 12, actual water use is 42 kL. What is the residual, using actual - predicted?

Residual from a water-use model P L r
Choices
  • 4.8
  • -4.8
  • 37.2
  • 42
Explanation:

The predicted value is 18 + 1.6 x 12 = 37.2. The residual is actual - predicted, so 42 - 37.2 = 4.8.

HSC Year 11 Mathematics Standard Probability hard probability tree

5. A learner passes a theory test with probability 0.72. If they pass theory, P(pass practical) = 0.85. If they do not pass theory, P(pass practical) = 0.40. What is the probability they pass the practical test?

Two-stage licence test probability T P S
Choices
  • 0.724
  • 0.612
  • 0.288
  • 0.850
Explanation:

Use the two branches that end in passing the practical: 0.72 x 0.85 + 0.28 x 0.40 = 0.612 + 0.112 = 0.724.

HSC Year 11 Mathematics Standard Trigonometry and measurement hard diagram

6. A surveyor is 65 m horizontally from a tower. The angle of elevation to the top is 14°. What is the tower height, to the nearest 0.1 m?

Angle of elevation to a tower 65 m h 14°
Choices
  • 16.2 m
  • 15.7 m
  • 63.0 m
  • 267.8 m
Explanation:

Use tan(14°) = height / 65. The height is 65 x tan(14°) = 16.206..., which rounds to 16.2 m.

For parents comparing HSC Year 11 Mathematics Standard support

HSC Year 11 Mathematics Standard practice should make finance, measurement, networks, data, probability, and trigonometry feel structured rather than guessable. These examples preview that applied style before the no-login Mathematics Standard demo.
