Investigate chance processes and develop, use, and evaluate probability models.
Approximate the probability of a chance event by collecting data on the chance process that produces it and observing its long-run relative frequency, and predict the approximate relative frequency given the probability. For example, when rolling a number cube 600 times, predict that a 3 or 6 would be rolled roughly 200 times, but probably not exactly 200 times. (7.SP.6)
Level 2 D 1 point
38 Multiple Choice Item
Solve real-life and mathematical problems using numerical and algebraic expressions and equations.
Solve multi-step real-life and mathematical problems posed with positive and negative rational numbers in any form (whole numbers, fractions, and decimals), using tools strategically. Apply properties of operations to calculate with numbers in any form; convert between forms as appropriate; and assess the reasonableness of answers using mental computation and estimation strategies. For example: If a woman making $25 an hour gets a 10% raise, she will make an additional 1/10 of her salary an hour, or $2.50, for a new salary of $27.50. If you want to place a towel bar 9 3/4 inches long in the center of a door that is 27 1/2 inches wide, you will need to place the bar about 9 inches from each edge; this estimate can be used as a check on the exact computation.

Investigate chance processes and develop, use, and evaluate probability models.
Develop a probability model and use it to find probabilities of events. Compare probabilities from a model to observed frequencies; if the agreement is not good, explain possible sources of the discrepancy. (7.SP.7) a. Develop a uniform probability model by assigning equal probability to all outcomes, and use the model to determine probabilities of events. For example, if a student is selected at random from a class, find the probability that Jane will be selected and the probability that a girl will be selected.

Depth of Knowledge (DOK) DOK refers to the complexity of thinking required to complete a task in a given item. Items with a DOK 1 designation focus on the recall of information, such as definitions and terms, and simple procedures. Items with a DOK 2 designation require students to make decisions, solve routine problems, perform calculations, or recognize patterns. Items with a DOK 3 designation feature higher-order cognitive tasks. These DOK 3 tasks include but are not limited to: critiquing a statement and forming a conclusion; explaining, justifying, or proving a statement; or approaching abstract, complex, open-ended, and non-routine problems. Each grade’s blueprint contains information about the number of points of opportunity students will encounter at each DOK level.

Question 8
29490
9 (2019)
Scoring Guidelines Rationale for Option A: This is incorrect. The student may calculate and find that the mean of type B is higher, but there exist Type A oranges that weigh the same and more than Type B. Rationale for Option B: Key – The student understands that because the mean in Type B is higher and the variance is less, it is likely that a Type B orange will weigh more than a Type A orange.
Rationale for Option C: This is incorrect. The student may not understand how to interpret this data and think that there is no way to determine which orange is going to weigh more. Rationale for Option D: This is incorrect. The student may incorrectly think variance has to do with the height of the graph (number of oranges at each weight) and thus choose that there is more variance in the weight of Type B oranges.

32 (2019)
Scoring Guidelines Rationale for Option A: This is incorrect. The student may only consider the number of apples in each bag instead of the relationship between the number of apples and the cost. Rationale for Option B: This is incorrect. The student may incorrectly take the reciprocal of the rates and calculate the number of apples per dollar instead of the cost per apple. Rationale for Option C: Key – The student correctly identifies that the unit cost for green apples is greater than the unit cost for red apples because 10.8 ÷ 12 is a little less than $1 per apple and 6.9 ÷ 6 is a little more than $1 per apple. Rationale for Option D: This is incorrect. The student may write a proportion of green apples over red apples (6.9/10.8 = 6/12) and think that since the left side is greater than the right side, this means that green apples cost more than red apples.

Scoring Guidelines Rationale for Option A: This is incorrect. The student may interpret the double negative in front of q as an upward motion on a vertical number line and therefore an upward motion on the weight. Rationale for Option B: This is incorrect. The student may think that because the spring is pulled down to a length of p centimeters, the original length is negative. Rationale for Option C: Key – The student correctly identifies that subtracting q centimeters from the length is equivalent to adding –q. Rationale for Option D: This is incorrect. The student correctly identifies that subtracting q centimeters from the length is equivalent to adding –q but may think that, because the spring is pulled down to a length of p centimeters, the original length is negative.

Scoring Guidelines Rationale for Option A: This is incorrect. The student may read the table and respond with how many times the digit 4 was produced in the initial 500 runs of the generator. Rationale for Option B: This is incorrect. The student may think that the number generator was random, therefore dividing 4000 by 5 possible outcomes, and chooses the number closest to 800. Rationale for Option C: This is incorrect. The student may think that the number generator only generates 4 unique numbers, therefore dividing 4000 by 4 possible outcomes, and chooses the number closest to 1000. Rationale for Option D: Key – The student correctly identifies that the probability of the number 4 being produced on the weighted number generator is about 30% based on the table of data (152 out of 500), and chooses the number closest to 1,200.
Points Possible: 1 Content Cluster: Investigate chance processes and develop, use, and evaluate probability models.

Points Possible: 1 Content Cluster: Solve real-life and mathematical problems using numerical and algebraic expressions and equations. Content Standard: Solve multi-step real-life and mathematical problems posed with positive and negative rational numbers in any form (whole numbers, fractions, and decimals), using tools strategically. Apply properties of operations to calculate with numbers in any form; convert between forms as appropriate; and assess the reasonableness of answers using mental computation and estimation strategies. For example: If a woman making $25 an hour gets a 10% raise, she will make an additional 1/10 of her salary an hour, or $2.50, for a new salary of $27.50. If you want to place a towel bar 9 3/4 inches long in the center of a door that is 27 1/2 inches wide, you will need to place the bar about 9 inches from each edge; this estimate can be used as a check on the exact computation.

88 (2019)
Scoring Guidelines Rationale for Option A: This is incorrect. The student may notice that dividing 16 by 4 will make the left side of the equation 4 but does not remember that both sides of the equation have to be divided by 4 to maintain equivalency. Rationale for Option B: This is incorrect. The student may confuse adding 12 to both sides with subtracting 12 from both sides. Rationale for Option C: This is incorrect. The student may notice that division by 4 will make the left side equal to 4 but does not notice that the right side of the equation is not divided by 4 which is necessary to maintain equivalency. Rationale for Option D: Key – The student notices that the 12 was eliminated from the right side. Therefore, by subtracting 12 from each side of the equation, maintains equivalency.
