Iowa Academic Standards / Iowa Core Mathematics — Iowa
ISASP is Iowa’s statewide assessment program administered by the state Department of Education and aligned to Iowa Academic Standards / Iowa Core rather than a multi-state blueprint like SBAC or ACT. The public materials accessible here establish the tested grades and that mathematics results are reported statewide, but I could not locate an official public math blueprint PDF on the Iowa DOE site in the available sources.
ISASP uses the Independent / state-specific framework (by grade domains structure).

A basketball player recorded points scored in each of games. The frequency table shows the results.
What is the mean number of points scored per game?
Multiply each point total by its frequency and add: . With games, the mean is points per game.
A team answered the statistical question "How many laps did you run?" The data are . What is the median of the data?
The median describes the center: put the values in order and take the middle. In order: . The middle value is .
Which of these is NOT a statistical question?
A statistical question anticipates variability: many people or things can give different answers. "How many pets does my family own?" asks about one family, so it has one answer. It is not a statistical question.
A weather station records five daily rainfall amounts, in inches: , , , , and . The lowest amount, inch, is removed from the data set. How does this affect the mean?
The mean of the original five amounts is inches. Because , removing the smallest value raises the mean.
