About this worksheet

What students practice

  • Students construct a scatter plot from paired ticket-sales data.
  • Students identify clusters, outliers, and positive, negative, or absent associations.
  • Students distinguish approximately linear patterns from nonlinear patterns.

How to use

Have students plot the ticket records first, then evaluate the stage and entrance displays. Discuss why unusual records should be checked rather than automatically removed.

Music Festival: Tickets, Timing, and Patterns

Build scatter plots and use patterns to evaluate festival records.

Ticket Records

Use the paired records. On every scatter plot, each dot represents one record; do not connect the dots.

1.
A festival records its total advance ticket sales at five checkpoints. Make a scatter plot of all five records. The vertical axis shows hundreds of tickets, so 2 represents 200 tickets.
