QUESTION 7

7.1 A construction vehicle was bought for R625 000. The value of the vehicle
depreciates annually at a rate of 10,25% p.a. on the reducing-balance method.
Calculate the book value of the vehicle 6 years after it was bought. (2)

7.2 Calculate the effective interest rate if an investment earns interest at the rate of 8%
p.a., compounded half-yearly. (3)

7.3 A house was bought 4 12 years ago. The value of the house increased at 14% p.a.,
compounded quarterly. If the value of the house is now R1 671 650,74, calculate the
purchase price of the house. (3)

7.4 Mr Nsele invested R 𝑥 into a savings account. He withdrew R15 000 from the
account two years after making the initial deposit. Four years after making the initial
deposit, the accumulated amount in the savings account was R75 000.
The account earned interest at the rate of 12% p.a., compounded monthly for the
first three years. Thereafter the interest rate changed to 8% p.a., compounded half-
yearly.

7.4.1 Calculate the amount that Mr Nsele had in the account three years after
making the initial deposit. (3)

7.4.2 Calculate the value of 𝑥, the amount Mr Nsele initially deposited into the
account. (4)

QUESTION 8

8.1 For events A and B, it is given that P ( A ) = 0,35 and P ( B) = 0, 4 .

8.1.1 Calculate P ( A or B) if A and B are mutually exclusive. (2)

8.1.2 Calculate P ( A or B) if A and B are independent. (3)

8.2 A survey was conducted among 150 Grade 11 learners about the genre of music that
they listen to mostly. The results are shown in the table below.

Classical Pop Hip hop Total

Girls 35 𝑘 27 80
Boys 32 15 23 70
Total 67 50 150

8.2.1 Write down the value of 𝑘. (1)

8.2.2 If a learner is selected at random from the group, what is the probability
that the learner is a boy and does not listen to Pop music? (2)

8.2.3 Are the events: “being a girl” and “listening to Pop music” independent?
Show all necessary calculations. (4)
[12]

QUESTION 9

9.1 The probability that South Africa (SA) will reach the finals in the 2027 Rugby
World Cup is 0,35 and the probability that New Zealand (NZ) will reach the finals
is 0,60. The probability that neither South Africa nor New Zealand will reach the
final is 0,08.

Calculate the probability that only New Zealand will reach the finals. (4)

9.2 A picnic basket contains x apples and 8 bananas. A fruit is selected at random and
eaten. Thereafter, another fruit is selected at random and eaten. The probability of
