Write down the name of the Municipality in which the statistics was collected The population of the municipality was 2143869 as indicated on the ANNEXURE. Round off the population to the nearest 1000 . The working age is 15 years to 64 years as indicated on the ANNEXURE. Do you think a 15 -year-old person is old enough to be working. Determine the difference in the population between 1996 and 2001.

Below is a discussion of each instruction in the question along with how you might answer it: 1. Municipality Name:  • The question instructs you “Write down the name of the Municipality in which the statistics was collected.”  • In many similar exercises the required name is printed in the ANNEXURE (for example “City of X” or “Municipality of Y”).  • However, in the information provided here no specific name is mentioned. In a real situation you would look at the ANNEXURE to find the municipality’s name and write it down. For example, if the annexure had “Municipality: Metroville,” then your answer would be: Metroville. 2. Rounding the Population:  • The population is given as 2,143,869.  • To round this number to the nearest 1000, consider the last three digits (869). Since 869 is 500 or more, you round up.  • Divide by 1000: 2,143,869 ÷ 1000 = 2143.869. Rounding to the nearest whole number gives 2144.  • Multiply back by 1000: 2144 × 1000 = 2,144,000.  • Thus, the rounded population is 2,144,000. 3. Working Age and a 15‑Year‑Old Working:  • The ANNEXURE states that the working age is from 15 to 64 years.  • This means that according to the criteria used, a person aged 15 is just entering the “working age” group.  • In practice, whether a 15‑year‑old is “old enough” to work is often a matter of debate and depends on legal, cultural, and physical maturity factors. In many countries, while 15‑year‑olds may be allowed to do certain types of work (especially light or part‑time jobs), many legal systems also require that children continue with schooling.  • So, you might answer: “Although statistical classifications often include 15‑year‑olds in the ‘working age’ group, in practice a 15‑year‑old is generally still considered too young for full‑time employment, with the emphasis placed on continuing education.” 4. Difference in the Population Between 1996 and 2001:  • The question asks you to “Determine the difference in the population between 1996 and 2001.”  • Often the ANNEXURE would provide two separate population figures (one for 1996 and one for 2001). For example, if the population was 1,980,000 in 1996 and 2,143,869 in 2001, then the difference would be:   2,143,869 – 1,980,000 = 163,869.  • However, in the information provided here only one population number (2,143,869) is mentioned, and no figure is given for 1996.  • Therefore, without the population data for 1996, the numerical difference cannot be computed. In an actual exam or exercise, you would refer to the ANNEXURE to get both numbers.   – If the data were available, the method is simply to subtract the earlier year’s value from the later year’s value. Summary Example Answer (assuming you had full ANNEXURE details): a) Municipality Name: [Name as given in the ANNEXURE, e.g., “Metroville Municipality”]. b) Rounded Population: 2,144,000. c) Working Age: Although 15‑year‑olds are included in the working age group statistically, in practical terms many consider a 15‑year‑old too young for full‑time work and prioritize education at that age. d) Population Difference (1996 to 2001): [Population in 2001] – [Population in 1996]. (For instance, if 1996’s population were 1,980,000 then the difference would be 163,869.) If you have or can refer to the actual ANNEXURE, use the specific data provided there to fill in the missing details.
