QUESTION 2

A town has two popular municipal swimming pools, namely the Madiba swimming pool
and the Cronje swimming pool. The table below indicates the number of people that visited
the Madiba swimming pool over a period of eight days. The corresponding maximum daily
temperatures (in °C) for each day is also given in the table.

Maximum daily

temperature (°C) 18 24 22 28 34 30 26 20

Number of visitors 180 210 200 350 410 300 280 195
2.1 Determine the equation of the least squares regression line of the data. (3)
2.2 Calculate the value of the correlation coefficient. (1)
2.3 The manager of the Madiba swimming pool asks a grade 12 Mathematics learner,

Jan-Breet, to predict how many visitors can be expected on a certain day with a
maximum daily temperature of 32 °C. Jan-Breet predicts that 365 visitors can be
expected on that day. Should the manager take this prediction seriously and
prepare for 365 vistors? Motivate your answer. (3)

2.4 Over the very same period of eight days, with the exact same daily maximum
temperatures, the Cronje swimming pool also record the number of visitors for
each day. The equation for the least squares regression line for the Cronje
swimming pool is given as p = k + 12,85x.

Which swimming pool had the highest number of visitors over the period of eight

days? Motivate, without any calculations, your answer. (3)
