Music Festival: Reading the Record Notes

Identify what each data set measures, how it was collected, and its units.

Ticket Office Records

Use the table and collection note to interpret the ticket-office data.

For each paid online order, the sales system counts the individual tickets in that order and records the amount charged. Each ticket costs $18. Canceled orders are excluded. The order number identifies the order; it is not a measurement.

Paid Online Orders
Order number	Tickets in order	Amount charged ($)
401	2	36.00
402	5	90.00
403	1	18.00
404	3	54.00

What attribute does the data set 2, 5, 1, 3 describe?

A. The number of people entering through each gate.B. The number of online orders placed each hour.C. The number of dollars charged for each ticket.D. The number of tickets in each paid online order.

Select the two columns whose values measure a quantity rather than identify an order.

Which collection procedure produced the “Tickets in order” column?

A. The system counted individual tickets in each canceled online order.B. The system counted paid online orders during each sales hour.C. The system counted individual tickets in each paid online order.D. The system counted people whose tickets were scanned at each gate.

A report labels these four ticket counts “Tickets sold per order at the festival.” Which replacement heading preserves the collection note's full meaning?

A. Tickets requested per order, including canceled ordersB. Tickets sold per hour through the online systemC. Tickets scanned per arriving group at the festivalD. Tickets purchased per paid order through the online system

Stage Schedule and Timing Notes

Distinguish scheduled values from measurements of what actually happened.

The schedule lists each act's planned start and planned duration. During each performance, Elena uses a stopwatch from the first note to the final note. She leaves it running during pauses and includes any encore, an additional song at the end. She rounds the stopwatch result to the nearest whole minute.

River Stage Record
Act	Planned start	Planned length (min)	Stopwatch result (min)
Copper Strings	2:00 p.m.	25	28
Open Chord	2:40 p.m.	40	43
Evening Echo	3:35 p.m.	30	30

Which description correctly identifies the source and meaning of Open Chord's value of 40?

A. It is the planned performance length copied from the schedule.B. It is the actual waiting time measured between two performances.C. It is the actual performance length read from Elena's stopwatch.D. It is the planned starting time copied from the stage clock.

Elena exports the values 28, 43, and 30. Which heading best describes this data set?

A. Time from planned start to actual start per act, including delays (minutes)B. Time from first note to final note per act, including pauses and encores (minutes)C. Active music time per act, excluding pauses and encores (minutes)D. Scheduled stage time per act, including setup and cleanup (minutes)

Complete the description using the word bank. Use each needed word once; one word is not needed.

The actual performance durations are measured in . Elena obtains them with a , while the planned durations come from the .

At another stage, Jalen stops his timer at the final note before the encore. Elena stops hers at the final note after the encore. Both report minutes. For acts with an encore, how do their data differ?

A. They use the same unit but different ending points for the duration.B. They both measure only the time when musicians are playing notes.C. They both measure the time assigned to an act in the schedule.D. They use different units but the same ending point for the duration.

Select the two descriptions supported by Elena's collection note.

Gate staff want a data set measuring successful ticket admissions during each 15-minute interval. Repeat-entry scans must not count. Which method measures that attribute?

A. Count people waiting outside the gate at each 15-minute mark.B. Count all scans, including repeat entries, during each 15-minute interval.C. Count successful first-entry scans during each 15-minute interval.D. Count all tickets purchased online during each 15-minute interval.

For every refunded order, the ticket office records two attributes: how many individual tickets were returned and how much money was paid back. Complete the column headings using the word bank. One word is not needed.

Number of individual tickets returned (); amount of money paid back ().

13.

Mina records the number of tickets sold during each hour. Theo records the number of tickets in each paid order. An editor combines their values into one unlabeled list and says, “They all count tickets, so the records mean the same thing.” Explain why the unit alone is not enough. Describe what one value represents in each original data set.
