Question 1
1.1 Read the scenario below and answer the questions that follow: Mrs Mbeki conducted a
survey to find out how many coins the learners in Grade 5 at IMMACULATE CONVENT
school had on them (in their pockets or purses). Mrs Mbeki randomly surveyed 40 Grade 5
learners at IMMACULATE CONVENT school. She obtained the following data: 4 6 3 6 7 2 3 3
20055482002100043502360554820021
1.1.1 What is the random variable of interest in this scenario? (1)
1.1.2 What is the population of interest in this scenario? (1)
1.1.3 What is the sample of interest in this scenario? (1)
1.1.4 Explain the nature of data that was collected in this scenario. In your explanation state
whether it is qualitative or quantitative data. Further state whether it is categorical data or
numerical data. If the data is numeric, state whether it is discrete or continuous. (3)
1.1.5 Which graph(s) can best display this type of data? Explain your answer. (2)
1.2 The Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement (CAPS) requires Grade 6 learners to be
able to “draw a variety of graphs including pictographs (many-to-one correspondence) to display
and interpret data”. Use figure 1 to answer the questions that follow. 4 Figure 1: Cellphones sold
in Prayash’s shop
1.2.1 Use figure 1 to answer the following questions:
, 1.2.1.1 Write down the points that you will use to explain to grade 6 learners what a pictograph
is. (2)
1.2.1.2 Draw a pictograph (many-to-one correspondence) to demonstrate what a pictograph looks
like. Use =2; = 2; =2; = 2 to represent the data in figure 1. (9)
1.2.2 Which other graph can best represent the data in figure 1? Explain your answer. (2) \
1.2.3 Use Microsoft Excel to draw the graph you have mentioned in 1.2.2 using the data in figure
1. (7)
1.2.4 Design (ask) two questions that will help Grade 6 learners interpret the data displayed in
figure 1 and the graph you drew for question 1.2.1.2. 1.2.4.1
