How the STAAR reports it

STAAR math is a Texas state assessment built on the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS), not a Common Core framework. Texas publishes explicit STAAR reporting categories by grade/course, with item reporting aligned to TEKS content strands and student expectations.

Blueprint & weighting

TEA’s publicly visible STAAR Mathematics Resources page does not publish item weights in the page content reviewed here. The category structure is explicit, but no percentage blueprint was visible in the sourced materials.

A shipping clerk weighed 1414 packages. The frequency table shows each weight and how many packages had that weight.
Weight (lb)Number of packages2372125172222\begin{array}{c|c} \text{Weight (lb)} & \text{Number of packages} \\ \hline 2 & 3 \\ 7 & 2 \\ 12 & 5 \\ 17 & 2 \\ 22 & 2 \end{array}

What is the median package weight?

There are 1414 weights. Listing every weight from least to greatest, the 77th and 88th values are both 1212, so the median is 1212 pounds.

Five test scores are 7070, 7878, 8484, 9090, and 9696. One score is removed from the data set, but which score was removed is not stated. How does this affect the mean?

The mean of the five given scores can be found, but removing a different score changes the mean in different ways. Without knowing which score was removed, the effect cannot be determined.

Seven test scores are 70,70\textsf{,} 75,75\textsf{,} 88,88\textsf{,} 85,85\textsf{,} 90,90\textsf{,} 65,65\textsf{,} and 87.87\textsf{.} What is the mean score?

Mean =70+75+88+85+90+65+877=5607=80= \dfrac{70 + 75 + 88 + 85 + 90 + 65 + 87}{7} = \dfrac{560}{7} = 80.

The distances, in miles, run on seven days are 14,14\textsf{,} 6,6\textsf{,} 20,20\textsf{,} 9,9\textsf{,} 11,11\textsf{,} 18,18\textsf{,} and 6.6\textsf{.} What is the median distance?

In order, the values are 6,6\textsf{,} 6,6\textsf{,} 9,9\textsf{,} 11,11\textsf{,} 14,14\textsf{,} 18,18\textsf{,} 20.20\textsf{.} The median is the middle value, 11.11\textsf{.}

A clinic recorded customer wait times, in minutes, for 1616 visits. The frequency table shows the results.
Wait time (min)Number of customers225382116143\begin{array}{c|c} \text{Wait time (min)} & \text{Number of customers} \\ \hline 2 & 2 \\ 5 & 3 \\ 8 & 2 \\ 11 & 6 \\ 14 & 3 \end{array}

What is the median wait time?

Expand to 1616 wait times: 2,2,5,5,5,8,8,11,11,11,11,11,11,14,14,142, 2, 5, 5, 5, 8, 8, 11, 11, 11, 11, 11, 11, 14, 14, 14. The 88th and 99th values are both 1111, so the median is 1111 minutes.

A weather station records five daily rainfall amounts, in inches: 11, 22, 33, 44, and 55. The lowest amount, 11 inch, is removed from the data set. How does this affect the mean?

The mean of the original five amounts is 1+2+3+4+55=3\dfrac{1+2+3+4+5}{5}=3 inches. Because 1<31<3, removing the smallest value raises the mean.
