QUESTION 1
The matric class of a certain high school had to vote for the chairperson of the RCL

(representative council of learners). The scatter plot below shows the IQ (intelligence quotient)
of the 10 learners who received the most votes and the number of votes that they received.

Intelligence quotient (IQ)

Before the election, the popularity of each of these ten learners was established and a popularity
score (out of a 100) was assigned to each. The popularity scores and the number of votes of the
same 10 learners who received the most votes are shown in the table below.

Popularity score (x) 32 89 35 82 50 59 81 40 79 65

Number of votes (y) 9 22 10 21 ll 15 20 12 19 16

1.1 Calculate the:

1.1.1 Mean number of votes that these 10 learners received (2)

1.1.2 Standard deviation of the number of votes that these 10 learners received Q)
1.2 The learners who received fewer votes than one standard deviation below the mean

were not invited for an interview. How many learners were invited? (2)
1.3 Determine the equation. of the least squares regression line for the data given in the

table. @)
1.4 Predict the number of votes that a learner with a popularity score of 72 will receive. (2)
1.5 Using the scatter plot and table above, provide a reason why:

1.5.1 IQ is not a good indicator of the number of votes that a learner could receive qd)

1.5.2. The prediction in QUESTION 1.4 is reliable qd)

How many people are employed at this company?
Write down the modal class of the data.
How many employees spent more than 22,5% of their monthly salary on fuel?

An employee spent R2 400 of his salary on fuel in that particular month. Determine
the monthly salary of this employee if he spends 7% of his salary on fuel.

The monthly salaries of these employees remains constant and the number of litres of
fuel used in each month also remains constant. If the fuel price iricreases from R21,43
per litre to R22,79 per litre at the beginning of the next month, how will the above
ogive change?
