Table 2 shows the heart rates recorded by a 20-year-old athlete. Heart rates have been recorded every two minutes.

Plot the information shown in Table 2 on the graph paper below to show how heart rate has changed over time. Label the axes and join up the points to make a line graph.

Table 2 – heart rates recorded by a 20-year-old athlete

Analyse the data shown in Table 2. Consider what has happened to the athlete between:

• 4 and 6 minutes

• 6 and 12 minutes.

Nick has been a coach of a rugby team for four seasons. Each season consists of 24 matches. Nick has been asked by the club committee to set a target number of wins for season 5.
