3. QuestionMultiple choice

A bag contains 4 red, 3 blue, and 5 green tiles. What is the probability of selecting a blue tile?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is 1/4.

  1. Identify the mathematical relationship: Determine whether the question uses number operations, algebra, geometry, statistics, probability, or modeling.
  2. Show the calculation: There are 3 blue tiles out of 12 total, so 3/12 = 1/4.
  3. Check units and reasonableness: Confirm that the answer has the correct units and fits the Hawaii Smarter Balanced Mathematics task.

There are 3 blue tiles out of 12 total, so 3/12 = 1/4.

4. QuestionMultiple choice

A scatter plot shows that as study time increases, test scores generally increase. What type of association is shown?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is Positive association.

  1. Identify the mathematical relationship: Determine whether the question uses number operations, algebra, geometry, statistics, probability, or modeling.
  2. Show the calculation: Both variables tend to increase together, showing a positive association.
  3. Check units and reasonableness: Confirm that the answer has the correct units and fits the Hawaii Smarter Balanced Mathematics task.

Both variables tend to increase together, showing a positive association.

5. QuestionMultiple choice

A survey selects every tenth student from an alphabetized school list. What sampling method is this?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is Systematic sampling.

  1. Identify the mathematical relationship: Determine whether the question uses number operations, algebra, geometry, statistics, probability, or modeling.
  2. Show the calculation: Selecting every tenth member follows a systematic sampling procedure.
  3. Check units and reasonableness: Confirm that the answer has the correct units and fits the Hawaii Smarter Balanced Mathematics task.

Selecting every tenth member follows a systematic sampling procedure.

6. QuestionMultiple choice

A fair coin is tossed twice. What is the probability of getting two heads?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is 1/4.

  1. Identify the mathematical relationship: Determine whether the question uses number operations, algebra, geometry, statistics, probability, or modeling.
  2. Show the calculation: The four equally likely outcomes are HH, HT, TH, and TT; one is two heads.
