What the test measures

Statistics and Probability skills

  1. Investigate patterns of association in bivariate data

  2. Construct and interpret scatter plots

  3. Use a linear model to describe the association between two quantities

  4. Interpret slope and intercept in the context of a linear relationship

Standards basis

Arkansas Academic Standards for Mathematics (CCSS-M–aligned / Arkansas-adopted math standards) — Arkansas

How the ATLAS reports it

Arkansas’s statewide assessment system is ATLAS, which the ADE page says began serving in spring 2024. The official public page does not publish a math blueprint there, so the most defensible coverage map is the Arkansas math standards structure that ATLAS is aligned to.

Blueprint & weighting

ATLAS uses the Independent / state-specific framework (by grade domains structure).

A trend line for the number of car washes a club holds xx and the club's funds yy in dollars is y=75x+120y = 75x + 120. According to the line, how many dollars did the club have before holding any car washes?

At x=0x = 0, y=120y = 120 dollars: the yy-intercept is the starting amount.

A trend line for miles jogged xx and calories burned yy is y=90x+20y = 90x + 20. How many calories does the line predict for a 44-mile jog?

y=90(4)+20=360+20=380y = 90(4) + 20 = 360 + 20 = 380 calories.

A trend line predicts Mia will spell 1818 words correctly in a spelling bee. She actually spells 2121 words correctly. What is the residual (actual minus predicted)?

Residual =2118=3= 21 - 18 = 3 words.

A line of best fit for the number of lawns Jaden mows xx and his savings yy in dollars is y=15x+40y = 15x + 40. According to the line, how many dollars did Jaden have saved before mowing any lawns?

At x=0x = 0 lawns, y=40y = 40: the yy-intercept is the starting savings.
