QUESTION 3
3.1 The Human Sciences Research Council (HSRC) conducted a survey amongst 1000
people selected randomly in all the nine provinces about who they will support to
become the next president of South Africa with a voter population of about
23 million people.
550 of the participants of the survey said they will vote for candidate X.
Headlines in the newspaper claimed: “55% of all voters support candidate X”.
Discuss the validity of this statement along with any limitations it may have and the
misconceptions it could create. (4)
3.2 The swimming team of South Africa consists of EIGHT swimmers, namely three
men and five women, for the Olympic Games. They have to swim in two qualifying
rounds before they can go through to the finals. As part of their rotation policy they
must select a captain for each qualifying round.
3.2.1 Draw a tree diagram to determine all the probabilities of men or women
being selected as captain – with a column for the first round, then the
second round, then the possible outcomes and then probabilities as
fractions. Label each branch with its probability. (7)
3.2.2 What is the probability, expressed as a decimal fraction, that both the
people chosen will be women? (2)
3.2.3 Express as a percentage, the probability that the two swimmers selected to
be captain, will consist of one man and one woman. (3)
