Kentucky Academic Standards (KAS) for Mathematics — Kentucky
Summarize, represent, and interpret data on a single count or measurement variable; interpret linear models; make inferences and justify conclusions from sample surveys, experiments, and observational studies; and use probability to evaluate outcomes of decisions. This Grade 10 reporting domain maps to 9 practice skills and 8 representative questions from the playable bank.
Kentucky Academic Standards (KAS) for Mathematics — Kentucky
Kentucky KSA is a state summative assessment built on Kentucky Academic Standards (KAS) rather than a separate national framework. For mathematics, the assessed content closely follows Common Core–style grade-band domains in grades 3-8 and uses Kentucky high-school conceptual categories in grade 10.
KSA uses the Independent / state-specific framework (by grade domains structure).

Four small data sets are listed below. Which set has the least standard deviation?
Set A:
Set B:
Set C:
Set D:
Set C has mean with values within one step of the center ( through ), giving the smallest standard deviation, about . Sets A, B, and D spread farther from their means.
Five quiz scores are and Which data set has the same mean?
The original mean is . The set also has mean , so the means match.
The practice times, in minutes, for five days are and Which data set has the same median?
In order, the original values have middle value , so the median is . The set also has median , so the medians match.
Events and are independent, with and . What is ?
Because and are independent, knowing does not change the probability of : .
A student read , , , , , and pages on six days of a reading challenge. On a seventh day, she read pages. The mean number of pages read per day over all seven days is . What is the value of ?
Seven days with a mean of pages total . Since , .
A dot plot of quiz scores shows 4 dots above 8, 5 dots above 9, and 3 dots above 10. How many quiz scores are shown in all?
Each dot is one score: .
For a normal distribution, approximately what percent of data lies more than 2 standard deviations from the mean (counting both tails)? (Use the empirical rule; enter the number of percent.)
About of the data lies within 2 SD of the mean, so lies more than 2 SD away.
A cold front is expected to reduce a reservoir's algae volume by of its previous amount each week. The volume is cubic meters at the start of week . Which equation models the algae volume , in cubic meters, after weeks?
A reduction of of the previous volume leaves a remaining factor of each week. Starting from , the volume after weeks is .
