Downloaded from hlayiso.com Mathematics/P2 3 NW/September 2024 NSC QUESTION 1 During the Rugby World Cup of 2023, the ages (in years) of the players of the Springbok rugby squad were recorded. The data is represented in the histogram below. Histogram 16 14 12 10 Frequency 8 6 4 2 0 20 24 28 32 36 40 Age (in years) 1.1 How many players were in this rugby squad? (1) 1.2 Calculate the estimated mean age of these rugby players. (2) 1.3 Use the histogram to: 1.3.1 Complete the cumulative frequency column in the ANSWER BOOK (2) 1.3.2 Draw an ogive (cumulative frequency graph) of the above data on the grid that is provided in the ANSWER BOOK (3) 1.4 Write down the estimated median of the above data. (2) 1.5 It was discovered that the frequency of the age data for k player(s) in the modal age interval was recorded incorrectly. The mistake is corrected and the frequency of TWO other intervals are increased. The number of players in the squad remains unchanged. Determine the minimum value of k, if the data of the new histogram is symmetrical. (3) [13] Copyright reserved Please turn over
