1. A. The student is thinking of the best measure of center to describe a symmetric
distribution instead of a skewed distribution.
B. Correct answer
C. The student realizes mean is not the best measure for a skewed distribution
but incorrectly guesses mode.
D. The student forgets that the mean absolute deviation is not a measure
of center.
2. F. Correct answer
G. The student finds the interquartile range of the ages.
H. The student finds the range of the ages.
I. The student finds the mean of the ages.
3. Correct answer: 4
Common error: The student incorrectly adds 11 to − 7 or adds 11 to − 2 instead.
4. A. The student forgets that to divide by a fraction, you invert the divisor and
multiply, and instead sets up the equation 4n = 8.
B. The student correctly sets up the equation 7 n = 63, but finds the wrong
value of n.
C. Correct answer
D. The student forgets that to divide by a fraction, you invert the divisor and
multiply, and instead sets up the equation 4n = 8. Then the student solves
the equation incorrectly by multiplying instead of dividing.
5. F. The student incorrectly calculates the area of the triangle to be 54 instead of
72.
G. Correct answer
H. The student thinks that because the polygons have the same area, they
should have the same height.

I. The student forgets to multiply by and incorrectly calculates the area of

the triangle to be 144 instead of 72.
6. A. The student thinks that a box-and-whisker plot divides data into 5 sections
instead of four quartiles.
B. Correct answer
C. The student chooses the percent of businesses that are inside the box.
D. The student chooses the percent of businesses that close at 10 P.M. or earlier.

H. The student confuses difference and quotient.
I. The student confuses the dividend and divisor of the quotient.
8. 2 points The student demonstrates a thorough understanding of creating a
stem-and-leaf plot and creating a histogram for a given set of data. In Part A,
the student creates an accurate stem-and-leaf plot like the one shown below.
