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.
