Below is the number of kilolitres water used during the month.

TABLE 3: NUMBER OF KILOLITRES USED
        WATER USAGE       KILOLITRES
 Dish washing and laundry      5,5
 Cleaning of the house         2,5
 Shower and bath               4,8

                                       EXCLUDING 15% VAT
 Block 1: 0 – 6 kℓ                          0,00c
 Block 2: 7 – 15 kℓ                         1 095c
 Block 3: 16 – 25 kℓ                        1 248c
 Block 4: 25 – 50 kℓ                        1 645c
 Block 5: 51 kℓ and more                    2 103c

Use the information above to answer the following questions.

       cleaning the house?                                                                   (3)

4.2    If 2,8 kilolitres of water are used to bath and the rest to shower, determine the
       probability to use bath water during the month of June. Give your final answer
       as ‘n simplified fraction.                                                            (3)

       answer.                                                                               (3)

4.5    Betty wants to display the data in TABLE 3 in a graph. Give her advice on the
       type of graph to use and whether she must use the actual values or percentages
       to draw the graph.                                                                    (3)
