This is the Mathematics Grade 12 Paper 2 provincial standardised assessment from KwaZulu-Natal, dated June 2026, worth 150 marks and to be completed in 3 hours. Question 1 covers the mean and standard deviation of a data set and the effect of adding a constant to each value. Question 2 uses the ages of workers at a KwaZulu-Natal textile factory to test completing a cumulative frequency table, drawing an ogive, sketching a box and whisker diagram, and interpreting the effect of workforce changes on the age distribution.
