QUESTION 1

The traffic department set up a roadblock on the N12 between Potchefstroom and
Klerksdorp. During the first hour, they stopped 11 minibus taxis.
The following dataset is a summary of the number of passengers per minibus taxi.

                                18, 26, 25, 18, 16, 12 ,10, 8, 18, 17, 8
 1.1        Calculate the mean number of passengers per taxi.                               (2)

 1.2        Calculate the standard deviation for this dataset.                              (1)

 1.3        Taxis in which the number of passengers is more than one standard deviation
            above the average can be considered overloaded.
            How many taxis were overloaded?                                             (2)

 1.4        During the second hour of the roadblock, a further 5 minibus taxis were
            stopped. The number of passengers in these 5 taxis are: x, 13, 18, y, 20.

            These 5 numbers are already arranged from smallest to largest.

            The entire dataset for the first and second hours is collectively represented
            on a box-and-whisker diagram. The new average number of passengers for
            the 16 taxis is 16. The five-number summary can be seen on the diagram
            below.

            1.4.1     Discuss the skewness of the data.                                     (1)

            1.4.2     What percentage of the minibus taxis had more than 11
                      passengers?                                                           (1)

            1.4.3     Calculate the value of x and y.                                       (4)
                                                                                            [11]

QUESTION 2

The traffic department has also conducted further investigation into where the best
locations would be on the N12 to install speed cameras. Part of the investigation
involved a survey of the different speeds of vehicles on the N12 between
Potchefstroom and Klerksdorp.

The following table shows the results of the investigation:

                       SPEED (d)          FREQUENCY                CUMULATIVE
                        (in km/h)      (number of vehicles)        FREQUENCY
                      40 < 𝑑 ≤ 60              25
                      60 < 𝑑 ≤ 80              46
                      80 < 𝑑 ≤ 100             67
                     100 < 𝑑 ≤ 120             79
                     120 < 𝑑 ≤ 140             24
                     140 < 𝑑 ≤ 160              8
                     160 < 𝑑 ≤ 180              1
 2.1        Use the table in the answer book and complete the cumulative frequency
            column.                                                                            (2)

 2.2        How many vehicles were observed in the survey?                                     (1)

 2.3        Illustrate the information in the table by drawing a ogive (cumulative
            frequency curve).                                                                  (4)

 2.4        Use the ogive to determine the median of the data. Write down only the
            median speed.                                                                      (2)
