QUESTION 1
An insurance broker signed contracts with 15 people. The monthly premium (in rands) payable on
each contract is given below.
134 | 215 | 325 | 326 | 362 | 429 | 515 | 531 | 598 | 610 | 624 | 728 | 923 | 1034 | 1200
1.1 Calculate the mean of the data. (2)
1.2 Write down the standard deviation of the data. (1)
1.3 Calculate how many monthly premiums are within ONE standard deviation of
the mean. (2)
1.4 The insurance company decided to increase the monthly premiums.
¢ Monthly premiums that were less than R500 increased by 18%
e Monthly premiums that were equal to or more than R500 increased by k%
After these increases were applied to the above data, the new mean monthly premium
was R686,44. Calculate the value of k. (4)
