5. A school recorded the number of Grade 12 candidates who achieved the following grades in their subjects: E: 31 D: 57 C: 89 B: 92 A: 23 Represent the data on: a) a bar graph b) a compound bar graph 6. A local hospital wanted to summarise and display the ages of patients that were admitted over a period of time. The results are in the table below: Age in years 0 ≤ age < 20 20 ≤ age < 30 30 ≤ age < 40 40 ≤ age < 50 50 ≤ age < 70 70 ≤age < 100
Frequency 56 72 96 45 135 36
a) To draw the histogram you must first calculate frequency density. Copy and complete the table below by calculating the frequency density. Age in years 0 ≤ age < 20 20 ≤ age < 30 30 ≤ age < 40 40 ≤ age < 50 50 ≤ age < 70 70 ≤age < 100
Frequency width 20 10 10 10 20 30
Frequency 56 72 96 45 135 36
Frequency density 56/20 = 2,8
b) Draw a histogram of the data. 7. a) Use the information given in the table below and draw a line graph for the projected population in our major cities. City 2000 Cape Town 2 715 Durban 2 370 Gauteng 2 732 Urban population (thousands)
2005 3 083 2 631 3 254
2010 3 316 2 804 3 574
2015 3 401 2 876 3 674
b) What is the trend for populations in our major cities? c) Draw a line graph of the urban population in South Africa from 2000 to the projected population in 2030. On the same set of axes, draw a broken-line graph of the rural population in South Africa for the same period. South Africa Urban population (thousands) 2000 – 2030 Year Urban population 2000 25 948 2005 28 119 2010 29 505 2015 30 722 2020 32 017 2025 33 312 2030 34 523
South Africa Rural population (thousands) 2000 – 2030 Year Rural population 2000 19 662 2005 19 313 2010 18 314 2015 17 181 2020 16 083 2025 14 985 2030 13 882
d) What do you think this trend means for rural areas?
