data analysis skills

  1. read and answer questions about charts, tables, and graphs

  2. calculate mean and median

  3. make estimates

  4. visually represent data sets

Standards basis

Research-based, state-specific learning progressions aligned to state grade-level math standards (CCSS-like strands are visible on the product page) — national

How the Star Math reports it

Star Math is Renaissance’s proprietary adaptive assessment, not a shared framework like SBAC or NAEP. The page describes research-based, state-specific learning progressions aligned to English and Spanish, rather than a single common external blueprint.

Blueprint & weighting

Star Math uses the Independent / state-specific framework (strands structure).

The table shows quiz scores and how many students earned each score.
Quiz scoreNumber of students622683745803863\begin{array}{c|c} \text{Quiz score} & \text{Number of students} \\ \hline 62 & 2 \\ 68 & 3 \\ 74 & 5 \\ 80 & 3 \\ 86 & 3 \end{array}

What is the median quiz score?

There are 1616 scores. Listing every score from least to greatest, the 88th and 99th values are both 7474, so the median is 7474.

A line plot shows the lengths of ribbons in inches: 3 ribbons at 18\tfrac{1}{8} and 1 ribbon at 58\tfrac{5}{8}. What is the total length of ribbon?

3×18+58=38+58=88=13 \times \tfrac{1}{8} + \tfrac{5}{8} = \tfrac{3}{8} + \tfrac{5}{8} = \tfrac{8}{8} = 1 inch.

A runner logs five lap times, in seconds: 1818, 2020, 2222, 2424, and 2626. A sixth lap time of 1616 seconds is added to the data set. How does this affect the mean?

The mean of the original five times is 18+20+22+24+265=22\dfrac{18+20+22+24+26}{5}=22 seconds. Because 16<2216<22, adding 1616 pulls the mean down.

Seven game scores are 14,14\textsf{,} 18,18\textsf{,} 10,10\textsf{,} 20,20\textsf{,} 12,12\textsf{,} 15,15\textsf{,} and 23.23\textsf{.} What is the mean score?

Mean =14+18+10+20+12+15+237=1127=16= \dfrac{14 + 18 + 10 + 20 + 12 + 15 + 23}{7} = \dfrac{112}{7} = 16.

The practice times, in minutes, for five days are 35,35\textsf{,} 15,15\textsf{,} 20,20\textsf{,} 40,40\textsf{,} and 25.25\textsf{.} What is the median practice time?

In order, the values are 15,15\textsf{,} 20,20\textsf{,} 25,25\textsf{,} 35,35\textsf{,} 40.40\textsf{.} The median is the middle value, 25.25\textsf{.}

Four data sets show the number of laps run in five trials. Which set has the least standard deviation?

Set A:
2,4,6,8,102, 4, 6, 8, 10
Set B:
5,5,6,6,85, 5, 6, 6, 8
Set C:
1,5,6,7,111, 5, 6, 7, 11
Set D:
3,5,6,7,93, 5, 6, 7, 9

Set B has mean 66 with repeated values near the center (5,5,6,6,85, 5, 6, 6, 8), giving the smallest standard deviation, about 1.11.1. The other sets include values farther from their means.
