Use TABLE 1 to answer the questions that follow - NSC Mathematical Literacy - Question 1 - 2021 - Paper 1

The current exchange rate according to the table is:

$1 \text{ Botswana pula} = \frac{1}{11.14} \text{ US dollars}$

Evaluating this gives us:

$1 \text{ Botswana pula} \approx 0.0897 \text{ US dollars}$

The countries that showed a decrease in fuel prices are:

• Swaziland (from $0.84 to$0.73$)
• Botswana (from $0.84 to$0.72$)

The fuel prices in descending order for 01/03/2021 are:

1. Zimbabwe: $1.25$
2. Angola: $1.21$
3. South Africa: $1.061$
4. Swaziland: $0.73$
5. Botswana: $0.72$
6. Namibia: $0.69$

The probability of randomly selecting a country that is not South Africa is given as $\frac{5}{6}$. In decimal form, this is:

$\frac{5}{6} \approx 0.833$

Rounded to three decimal places, the probability is $0.833$.
