Question 1 [21 marks] 1.1 Formulate a research question that would cover the content of this task well. (2) 1.2 Write the difference between Grade 11 and Grade 2 for 2013 out in words. (3) 1.3 Calculate the percentage change between Grade 10 and Grade11 for 2022. (3 ) 1.4 Is this percentage change the same as the change between Grade 11 and Grade12 of the same year? Justify a reason for your answer. (3 ) 1.5 Consider all the data for Grade 12. Give a plausible explanation for the trend in the data. (2) 1.6 Calculate A, the number of candidates who attended Grade 6 in 2017, if there 13% decrease in numbers for Grade 3 of the same year. (3) 1.7 Predict the number of learners who will write Grade 12 in 2023 if the trend of the previous year's matrics is the same. (5) Question 2 [13 marks] 2.1 Draw a scatter plot diagram to represent the relationship between the number of candidates who attended school in Grade 1 and Grade 9 for the 12years. Draw a second scatter plot diagram that shows the relationship between Grade 1 and Grade 12 for the 12years. Use two different colours for each scatter plot. Include a key to distinguish between the two graphs. Use the template given to help you plot your Scatter Plot.

Explain. (2) 2.3 Discuss a potential reason why the Educational Department may choose to display the data as a Scatter Plot instead of a Bar Graph. (2) Question 3 [16 marks] For this question, consider only the Grade 11 and Grade 12 statistics, for all the years given. Round all answers off to one decimal place. 3.1 Determine the average amount of learners who wrote for Grade 11 and Grade 12 separately (4) 3.2 Determine the median number of learners who wrote in Grade 11 and Grade 12 separately. (4) 3.3 Substantiate, which of the Grades had the most learners in over the 12-year period? ( 2 ) 3.4 Calculate the range for each Grade mentioned. 3.5 Justify what the range tells us about the data at hand. 3.6 Are there any outliers in this data? Explain. Page 3 14
