Downloaded from hlayiso.com Mathematical Literacy/P2 7 DBE/2016 SCE QUESTION 3 3.1 In any country water is an important natural resource. The information in ANNEXURE B shows the capacity level of some of South Africa's dams for 2014 and 2015. Study the information in ANNEXURE B and answer the questions that follow. 3.1.1 Which provinces have the least number of dams represented in this data set? 3.1.2 Name TWO dams and their provinces where the water levels have risen from 2014 to 2015. 3.13) Determine the probability of randomly selecting a dam that exceeded 80% of its capacity in 2015. 3.1.4 The Gariep Dam has a capacity of 5 340 000 megalitres. Calculate the difference (in kilolitres) in the amount of water in the dam from 2014 to 2015. 3.15 Give TWO reasons why a dam's water level can decrease from one year to the next. 3.2 In order to manage water usage for the future a study was done in Australia on how households in the City West Water (CWW) area and Yarra Valley Water (YWW) area used water for residential purposes during the winter and the summer. The table in ANNEXURE C shows how 26 households in the study used water during the winter and the summer when they showered. 3.2.1 A scatter plot for the CWW summer data has been plotted on the ANSWER SHEET. On the same grid, plot a scatter plot for the CWW winter data. 3.22 Describe the relationship between the seasonal temperature and the duration of a shower. 3.23 How can this information help authorities to plan better for the future water needs of residents? 3.2.4 Why cannot one one not use the results from the sample in the study to conclude that all households in Australia show the same trends when they shower during the summer and the winter? 3.2.5 A household from the sample is chosen at random. Determine the probability that this household will shower for longer than 7 minutes and 10 seconds. 3.2.6 The IQR (interquartile range) for the summer shower duration for CWW is 29. Use the incomplete box and whisker diagram in ANNEXURE C to calculate the difference between the IQR for the winter and summer shower duration for CWW. Show ALL calculations.

Downloaded from hlayiso.com Mathematical Literacy/P2 8 DBE/2016 SCE QUESTION 4 4.1 Maria, her husband and child live in Harrismith. They are planning a sightseeing family trip to Springbok to see the flowers. They want to rent a motorhome (see ANNEXURE D) to drive to Springbok. They will use this motorhome for transportation and accommodation. They estimate that the total return distance they will travel is 3 050 km. They have to budget for the vehicle rental, vehicle insurance and fuel. Use the information above and ANNEXURE D to answer the questions that follow. 4.1.1 The family is considering renting the two-berth (sleeper) vehicle. They do not want to pay an excess (extra amount) in case of an accident. (a) Calculate the average rental cost per person if they rent the vehicle for 8 days using the unlimited kilometre option. (b) Compare the total cost of QUESTION 4.1.1(a) above with the cost of renting the two-berth vehicle for 7 days AND advise the family on which would be the most economical option. 4.1.2 The actual length of Bed 1 in ANNEXURE D is 2,010 m. Determine the length (to the nearest mm) of this bed on the plan if the scale is 1: 80. 4.1.3 The price of diesel is R11,78 per litre. Maria stated that renting the two-berth vehicle instead of the four-berth vehicle would save R1 278,84 on the fuel cost for the trip. Verify Maria's statement by showing ALL calculations.

Mathematical Literacy/P2 9 DBE/2016 SCE 4.2 The family finally decided to rent the smaller motorhome. Maria used the regional Downloaded from hlayiso.com map and distance chart in ANNEXURE E to plan their trip to Springbok. They plan to travel via Bloemfontein to Springbok using the following national roads: NS, N1, N8, N10 and N14. The distance between Harrismith and Bloemfontein is 337 km. 4.2.1 Use the information above, ANNEXURE D and ANNEXURE E to answer the questions that follow. (a) Show that the first fuel stop will be at Kimberley. (b) Verify that the second fuel stop will be at Kakamas. Use both the distance chart and the scale on the map. 4.2.2 They left Harrismith at 05:00 on Monday morning. The average speed covered while they were driving was 94 km/h. The refuel breaks took 20 minutes each and they took an extra 2 ri -hour break in Kimberley, with a stop of 180 minutes in Upington, to freshen up. Determine the time and day they arrived at Springbok. You may use the following formula: Distance = speed x time taken TOTAL: Copyright reserved 6) (6) (7) [43] 150
