QUESTION 2
Learners who scored a mark below 50% in a Mathematics test were selected to use a computer-based programme as part of an intervention strategy. On completing the programme, these learners wrote a second test to determine the effectiveness of the intervention strategy. The mark (as a percentage) scored by 15 of these learners in both tests is given in the table below.

2.1 Determine the equation of the least squares regression line(3)
2.2 A learner's mark in the first test was 15 out of a maximum of 50 marks.
2.2.1 Write down the learner’s mark for this test as a percentage.(1)
2.2.2 Predict the learner's mark for the second test. Give your answer to the nearest integer.(2)
2.3 For the 15 learners above, the mean mark of the second test is 45,67% and the standard deviation is 13,88%.  The teacher discovered that he forgot to add the marks of the last question to the total mark of each of these learners. All the learners scored full marks in the last question.  When the marks of the last question are added, the new mean mark is 50,67%.
2.3.1 What is the standard deviation after the marks for the last question are added to each learner's total?(2)
2.3.2 What is the total mark of the last question?(2)
