TABLE 4 shows the types of voting stations (VSs) used during the 2016 local government elections in South Africa - NSC Mathematical Literacy - Question 5 - 2019 - Paper 1

The province with the most voting stations is Gauteng, which has 2,716 voting stations.

To find the mean number of voting stations in South Africa, divide the total number of voting stations by the number of provinces:

Mean = ( \frac{22,612}{9} \approx 2,512.44 )

Rounded to whole number: approximately 2,512.

The modal number of mobile voting stations is 0, as this is the most frequently occurring number in the data provided.

Total temporary VSs = 2,018.

Percentage = ( \left( \frac{2,018}{22,612} \right) \times 100 \approx 8.91% )

Percentage of temporary VSs: approximately 8.91%.

In Gauteng, there are 0 mobile VSs. Therefore:

Probability = ( \frac{0}{2,716} = 0 )

The probability of randomly selecting a mobile VS in Gauteng is 0.

To calculate the value of 145, we derive it by finding the difference:

( 1,228 - (161 + 189 + 133 + 82 + 115 + 26 + 50) = 145 )

This shows that after summing the permanent and temporary mobile VSs, we are left with 145 temporary mobile voting stations.

Bar graphs should represent the permanent voting station totals as follows:

• Eastern Cape: 4,535
• Free State: 1,342
• Gauteng: 2,389
• KwaZulu-Natal: 4,267
• Limpopo: 1,814
• Mpumalanga: 1,110
• North West: 1,605
• Northern Cape: 601
• Western Cape: 1,534

Ensure the heights reflect these values accurately on the bar graph.
