How the NAEP reports it

NAEP mathematics is organized by the National Assessment Governing Board’s framework, not by state standards. The current framework assesses Grades 4, 8, and 12 and uses five content areas, with item distributions and complexity levels specified in the official framework; it is a national assessment and not aligned to Common Core as a governing blueprint, though it reflects broadly modern school math expectations.

Blueprint & weighting

Published item distribution by grade and content area: Grade 4 — Number Properties and Operations 40%, Measurement 20%, Geometry 15%, Data Analysis/Statistics/Probability 10%, Algebra 15%; Grade 8 — Number Properties and Operations 20%, Measurement 15%, Geometry 20%, Data Analysis/Statistics/Probability 15%, Algebra 30%; Grade 12 — Number Properties and Operations 10%, Measurement and Geometry 30%, Data Analysis/Statistics/Probability 25%, Algebra 35%.

What is the probability of the spinner landing on a shaded section (5 of 8)? Give a simplified fraction.

P=favorabletotal=58=58P = \dfrac{\text{favorable}}{\text{total}} = \dfrac{5}{8} = \dfrac{5}{8}.

A team has 55 players, and all 55 will be chosen for the photo. What is C(5,5)?C(5, 5)\textsf{?}

C(5,5)=5!5!⋅0!=120120⋅1=1.C(5,5) = \dfrac{5!}{5! \cdot 0!} = \dfrac{120}{120 \cdot 1} = 1\textsf{.}

Four data sets record the number of pages read in four or five sessions. Which set has the least standard deviation?

Set A:
4,8,12,164, 8, 12, 16
Set B:
6,8,10,12,146, 8, 10, 12, 14
Set C:
7,8,9,10,117, 8, 9, 10, 11
Set D:
2,6,10,14,182, 6, 10, 14, 18

Set C has mean 99 with consecutive values from 77 to 1111, each only one or two units from the center, giving the smallest standard deviation, about 1.41.4. Sets A, B, and D spread farther from their means.

The ages, in years, of seven students are 10,10\textsf{,} 16,16\textsf{,} 14,14\textsf{,} 8,8\textsf{,} 13,13\textsf{,} 15,15\textsf{,} and 8.8\textsf{.} Which data set has the same mean?

The original mean is 10+16+14+8+13+15+87=12\dfrac{10 + 16 + 14 + 8 + 13 + 15 + 8}{7} = 12. The set 6,6\textsf{,} 8,8\textsf{,} 10,10\textsf{,} 12,12\textsf{,} 14,14\textsf{,} 16,16\textsf{,} 1818 also has mean 1212, so the means match.

Seven game scores are 90,90\textsf{,} 70,70\textsf{,} 82,82\textsf{,} 75,75\textsf{,} 95,95\textsf{,} 60,60\textsf{,} and 88.88\textsf{.} Which data set has the same median?

In order, the original values have middle value 8282, so the median is 8282. The set 63,63\textsf{,} 65,65\textsf{,} 72,72\textsf{,} 82,82\textsf{,} 88,88\textsf{,} 88,88\textsf{,} 9999 also has median 8282, so the medians match.
