  1. Investigate patterns of association in bivariate data

Standards basis

Utah Core Standards for Mathematics (CCSS-aligned Utah math standards) — Utah

How the RISE reports it

Utah’s RISE mathematics assessment is a state assessment aligned to Utah Core Standards rather than a separately branded national framework. The official Utah pages point to Utah Core standards resources and the RISE administration guidance, with no separate public math blueprint published on the assessment page itself.

Blueprint & weighting

RISE mathematics weighting by domain was not located on the official Utah assessment page; the official page only points to the RISE assessment overview/administration resources and the Utah Core Standards resources. Grade 6 administration guidance notes a two-segment math test with Segment 1 no calculator and Segment 2 calculator allowed, and the proctor guide states Mathematics has an expected testing time of 90 minutes for most students and 135 minutes for all students.

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.

A line of best fit for the number of lawns Jaden mows xx and his savings yy in dollars is y=15x+40y = 15x + 40. According to the line, how many dollars did Jaden have saved before mowing any lawns?

At x=0x = 0 lawns, y=40y = 40: the yy-intercept is the starting savings.

A trend line for hours studied xx and quiz score yy is y=4x+62y = 4x + 62. What score does the line predict for a student who studies 33 hours?

Substitute x=3x = 3: y=4(3)+62=12+62=74y = 4(3) + 62 = 12 + 62 = 74.

A trend line predicts that a bakery will sell 7575 bagels on Monday. The bakery actually sells 7979 bagels. What is the residual (actual value minus predicted value)?

Residual == actual - predicted =7975=4= 79 - 75 = 4.

A two-way table has rows Dog/Cat and columns Boys/Girls: Dog&Boys=10, Dog&Girls=6, Cat&Boys=5, Cat&Girls=9. What fraction of all surveyed were Dog and Boys? Simplify.

1030=13\dfrac{10}{30} = \dfrac{1}{3}.
