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.

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)

QUESTION 2
Mrs Mochini wants to use mathematical modelling to predict the final results of her grade 12
Mathematics learners. She decides to use the Preparatory and Final Mathematics examination
results of the previous year to help her in developing such a possible model.
She records in the table below, 10 learners’ previous year’s results (in %) as follows:
Preparatory examination (x) 38 65 78 23 67 93 39 83 51 66
Final examination (y) 57 72 81 27 59 94 41 85 54 79
2.1 Determine the equation of the least squares regression line. (3)
2.2 A learner obtained 46% for the Preparatory examination.
2.2.1 Calculate the possible final examination results that Mrs Mochine can expect
from this learner. (2)
2.2.2 Is the answer in QUESTION 2.2.1 a good indication of the expected final
examination result? Motivate your answer. (2)
2.3 The point ( x ; q ) lies on the regression line of QUESTION 2.1.
Only ONE of the options below correctly reflects the value of q.
Write only the letter of the correct option as your answer.
