The cost of a ticket to watch a basketball match is $67.60 . The total money received from ticket sales for one match is $1 183 000. Find the number of tickets sold for this match.

The cost of one ticket at $67.60 is 4% more than the cost of one ticket last year. Calculate the cost of one ticket last year.

The number of seats in the basketball stadium is 20 545. The number of seats sold for the first match of the season is 19 340. Calculate the percentage of the seats in the stadium that are sold.

A team plays 41 matches. For the 41 matches, the mean number of seats sold per match is 16 440. The total number of seats sold for the first 21 matches is 329 000. Calculate the mean number of seats sold per match for the last 20 matches.

The table shows the salaries of three basketball players.

Find the difference between the salaries of Tristan and Stephen.

The total Joe earns is his salary plus a bonus of $x. The total he earns is 102.5% of his salary. Calculate the value of x.

The temperature at midday was recorded at ten different heights on a mountain. The results are shown in the table.

Complete the scatter diagram. The first five points have been plotted for you.

Describe the type of correlation shown in the scatter diagram.

Draw a line of best fit on the scatter diagram.

Another reading is taken at a height of 1000 m. Use your line of best fit to estimate the temperature at this height.

The table summarises the times taken by 80 adults to climb the mountain.

Calculate an estimate of the mean time.
