How the ISIP Math reports it

ISIP Math is an Istation adaptive assessment built on a blended content framework rather than a single external testing consortium. Its technical report says the item bank draws from NCTM domains, Common Core State Standards, and multiple state standards, with Texas TEKS specifically governing personal financial literacy. The technical report also enumerates an NCTM-derived list of reasoning domains (number sense, operations, algebra, geometry, measurement, data analysis, plus probability/statistics, ratios and proportional relationships, and PFL); the operational reporting domains students are scored on, however, are the grade-banded set published on Istation's 'Math Domains and Skills' help page and reproduced in this coverage_map.

Blueprint & weighting

Istation publishes no per-domain item-percentage blueprint for ISIP Math; it is a computer-adaptive assessment whose item selection is driven by student ability rather than a fixed-form domain distribution.

Two fair coins are tossed. What is the probability of getting exactly one head?

The sample space is HH, HT, TH, TT. Exactly one head appears in 22 of the 44 equally likely outcomes: 24=12\dfrac{2}{4} = \dfrac{1}{2}.

One letter is chosen at random from the word STUDENT. What is the probability that the letter is a vowel?

STUDENT has 77 letters. The vowels are U and E, so P(vowel)=27P(\text{vowel}) = \dfrac{2}{7}.

A standard die is rolled. What is the probability of not rolling a 66?

Five of the six faces are not 66, so P=116=56P = 1 - \dfrac{1}{6} = \dfrac{5}{6}.

The whole numbers 11 through 4040 were each written on separate pieces of paper. Those 4040 pieces were placed in a bowl. One piece will be randomly drawn from this bowl. What is the probability that the piece will show a perfect square?

Perfect squares from 11 to 4040 are 1,4,9,16,25,361, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, so there are 66 favorable outcomes: P=640=320P = \tfrac{6}{40} = \tfrac{3}{20}.

What is the probability of rolling a 4 on a standard die? Give a simplified fraction.

P=favorabletotal=16=16P = \dfrac{\text{favorable}}{\text{total}} = \dfrac{1}{6} = \dfrac{1}{6}.

Practice playeasy

A standard six-sided number cube is rolled twice. What is the probability of rolling a 22 both times?

P(2 on one roll)=16P(2\text{ on one roll}) = \dfrac{1}{6}. For two independent rolls, P(both 2s)=16×16=136P(\text{both }2\text{s}) = \dfrac{1}{6} \times \dfrac{1}{6} = \dfrac{1}{36}.

Practice playeasy

For two independent events, the probability of an even roll then a head: P(A)=36P(A)=\tfrac{3}{6}, P(B)=12P(B)=\tfrac{1}{2}. Find P(A and B)P(A \text{ and } B) as a simplified fraction.

Multiply: P(A and B)=36×12=14P(A \text{ and } B) = \tfrac{3}{6} \times \tfrac{1}{2} = \tfrac{1}{4}.

Practice playeasy

A bowl contains 44 lemons and 99 limes. One piece of fruit is chosen at random. What is the probability that the fruit is a lime?

There are 4+9=134 + 9 = 13 pieces of fruit and 99 are limes, so P(lime)=913P(\text{lime}) = \dfrac{9}{13}.
