QUESTION 1
The table below shows the monthly income (in rands) of 6 different people and the amount (in rands) that each person spends on the monthly repayment of a motor vehicle.

MONTHLY INCOME (IN RANDS)  9000  13000 15000 16500 17000 20000
MONTHLY REPAYMENT (IN RANDS) 2000 3000 3500 5200 5500 6000

1.1 Determine the equation of the least squares regression line for the data. (3)
1.2 If a person earns R14 000 per month, predict the monthly repayment that the person could make towards a motor vehicle. (2)
1.3 Determine the correlation coefficient between the monthly income and the monthly repayment of a motor vehicle. (1)
1.4 A person who earns R18 000 per month has to decide whether to spend R9 000 as a monthly repayment of a motor vehicle, or not. If the above information is a true representation of the population data, which of the following would the person most likely decide on:

  1. Spend R9 000 per month because there is a very strong positive correlation between the amount earned and the monthly repayment.
  2. NOT to spend R9 000 per month because there is a very weak positive correlation between the amount earned and the monthly repayment.
  3. Spend R9 000 per month because the point (18 000 ; 9 000) lies very near to the least squares regression line.
  4. NOT to spend R9 000 per month because the point (18 000 ; 9 000) lies very far from the least squares regression line. (2)

QUESTION 2
A survey was conducted among 100 people about the amount that they paid on a monthly basis for their cellphone contracts. The person carrying out the survey calculated the estimated mean to be R309 per month. Unfortunately, he lost some of the data thereafter. The partial results of the survey are shown in the frequency table below:

AMOUNT PAID (IN RANDS) FREQUENCY 
0 < x ≤100    7
100 < x.≤ 200  12
 200 < x ≤ 300  a
300 < x ≤ 400   35
400 < x ≤ 500   b
500 < x ≤ 600   c

2.1 How many people paid R200 or less on their monthly cellphone contracts? (1)
2.2 Use the information above to show that a= 24 and b = 16. (5)
2.3 Write down the modal class for the data. (1)
2.4 On the grid provided in the ANSWER BOOK, draw an ogive (cumulative frequency graph) to represent the data. (4)
2.5 Determine how many people paid more than R420 per month for their cellphone contracts. (2)
