To solve the questions based on the provided information about the census in South Africa, we will address each question step by step. However, since I do not have access to "ANNEXURE A," I will provide a general framework for how to answer these questions based on typical census data. ### 1.1 Explain the difference between Statistics South Africa (Stats SA) and Census. **Answer:** Statistics South Africa (Stats SA) is the national statistical service of South Africa responsible for collecting, analyzing, and disseminating statistical information. It conducts various surveys and statistical analyses to inform government policy and public understanding. A census, on the other hand, is a specific survey conducted at regular intervals (usually every ten years) that aims to collect comprehensive data about the population, including demographics, housing, and economic status. The census provides a snapshot of the population at a specific point in time. ### 1.2 Write down the year on which the indicated statistics was taken. **Answer:** The most recent census was conducted in **2022**. ### 1.3 Write down the total population of South Africa in words as indicated on ANNEXURE A. **Answer:** Assuming the total population is, for example, 60,000,000, it would be written as "sixty million." (Please replace with the actual figure from ANNEXURE A.) ### 1.4 Write down the ratio of male percentage to female percentage as a unit ratio. **Answer:** If the male percentage is, for example, 51% and the female percentage is 49%, the ratio of male to female would be expressed as: \[ \text{Ratio} = \frac{51}{49} \text{ or } 51:49 \] (Please replace with actual percentages from ANNEXURE A.) ### 1.5.1 Write down an example of a formal household. **Answer:** An example of a formal household could be a single-family home or an apartment that is registered and adheres to local housing regulations. ### 1.5.2 Determine the number of people who reside in informal households. **Answer:** If 88.5% of the population lives in formal households, then 11.5% live in informal households. Assuming the total population is \( P \): \[ \text{Number of people in informal households} = P \times 0.115 \] (Please replace \( P \) with the actual total population from ANNEXURE A.) ### 1.6 Do you agree or not, substantiate your answer. **Answer:** To answer this question, you would need to analyze the data from ANNEXURE A. If the census data shows that statistics were indeed collected every five years from 1990 to 2022, then you would agree. If there are gaps or inconsistencies in the years listed, you would disagree and provide evidence from the data. ### 1.7 Why do you think it is necessary that the statistics of population should be taken? **Answer:** It is necessary to take population statistics to: - Inform government policy and resource allocation. - Understand demographic changes and trends. - Plan for infrastructure, healthcare, and education needs. - Ensure representation in government and public services. ### Summary This framework provides a structured approach to answering the questions based on typical census data. Please refer to ANNEXURE A for specific figures and details to complete the answers accurately.
