What the test measures

Statistics and Probability skills

  1. Grade 6: statistical variability, distributions, dot plots/histograms/box plots

  2. Grade 7: random sampling, comparative inferences, probability models

  3. Grade 8: bivariate data, scatter plots, two-way tables, association

Standards basis

Missouri Learning Standards (Mathematics K-5 and Mathematics 6-12; revised standards approved April 19, 2016) — Missouri

How the MO MAP reports it

Missouri’s MAP math is built from the Missouri Learning Standards and the state’s item specifications, not from a separate national testing framework. The standards are closely CCSS-aligned in structure, with grade-level and course-level domains used as the native reporting/coverage structure.

Blueprint & weighting

Missouri publishes grade-level and EOC blueprints, but the accessible official pages in this pass did not expose the domain-by-domain percentage tables. The assessment page states that item specifications organize expectations by domains/strands and that blueprints are available for grade-level and EOC assessments.

A student tracked minutes spent studying each night for 1616 nights. The frequency table shows the results.
Minutes studiedNumber of nights102204303405502\begin{array}{c|c} \text{Minutes studied} & \text{Number of nights} \\ \hline 10 & 2 \\ 20 & 4 \\ 30 & 3 \\ 40 & 5 \\ 50 & 2 \end{array}

What is the median number of minutes studied per night?

Expand to 1616 values: 10,10,20,20,20,20,30,30,30,40,40,40,40,40,50,5010, 10, 20, 20, 20, 20, 30, 30, 30, 40, 40, 40, 40, 40, 50, 50. The 88th and 99th values are both 3030, so the median is 3030 minutes.

A cyclist records five ride distances, in miles: 1212, 1515, 1818, 2121, and 2424. Another ride distance is added to the data set, but its length is not given. How does this affect the mean?

The mean of the five known distances can be found, but the effect of the change depends on the unknown sixth distance. Without that value, the new mean cannot be determined.

Seven morning temperatures, in degrees Fahrenheit, are 62,62\textsf{,} 64,64\textsf{,} 66,66\textsf{,} 75,75\textsf{,} 70,70\textsf{,} 72,72\textsf{,} and 67.67\textsf{.} What is the mean temperature?

Mean =62+64+66+75+70+72+677=4767=68= \dfrac{62 + 64 + 66 + 75 + 70 + 72 + 67}{7} = \dfrac{476}{7} = 68.

Five afternoon temperatures, in degrees Fahrenheit, are 64,64\textsf{,} 78,78\textsf{,} 72,72\textsf{,} 60,60\textsf{,} and 66.66\textsf{.} What is the median temperature?

In order, the values are 60,60\textsf{,} 64,64\textsf{,} 66,66\textsf{,} 72,72\textsf{,} 78.78\textsf{.} The median is the middle value, 66.66\textsf{.}

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 two-way table has rows Bike/Scooter and columns Morning/Afternoon: Bike&Morning=11, Bike&Afternoon=7, Scooter&Morning=5. In all, 29 trips were recorded. How many trips are Scooter&Afternoon?

The three known cells sum to 11+7+5=2311+7+5=23, so the missing cell is 2923=629-23=6.

For two independent events, the probability of a head then a 4: P(A)=12P(A)=\tfrac{1}{2}, P(B)=16P(B)=\tfrac{1}{6}. Find P(A and B)P(A \text{ and } B) as a simplified fraction.

Multiply: P(A and B)=12×16=112P(A \text{ and } B) = \tfrac{1}{2} \times \tfrac{1}{6} = \tfrac{1}{12}.
