  1. A standard die has 6 equally likely outcomes. What is the probability of rolling a 1? Then classify it as impossible, unlikely, equally likely, likely, or certain.
  2. Emma wants to show that 4(x2+3)−2(x2+3)=2(x2+3)4(x^2 + 3) - 2(x^2 + 3) = 2(x^2 + 3). Which property allows her to factor out the common expression (x2+3)(x^2 + 3)?
  3. A teacher wants to estimate the mean number of minutes students spend reading each night. Four random samples of 30 students each were taken, and the sample means were 22 minutes, 25 minutes, 24 minutes, and 23 minutes. Which statement best describes the sampling variability and a reasonable estimate of the population mean?
  4. A student flips a fair coin 100 times and records 56 heads. Based on this data, what is the best estimate for P(heads)P(\text{heads})?
  5. Two numbers MM and NN have prime factorizations M=23⋅52M = 2^3 \cdot 5^2 and N=22⋅3⋅5N = 2^2 \cdot 3 \cdot 5. The least common multiple (LCM) of MM and NN has the form 2p⋅3q⋅5r2^p \cdot 3^q \cdot 5^r. What is p+q+rp + q + r?
  6. A car travels at a constant speed of 5555 miles per hour. Let dd be the distance (in miles) and let hh be the time (in hours). Which equation represents this proportional relationship?
  7. A science club says a homemade rocket launches successfully about 60% of the time. You want to simulate the compound event: in 3 launches, the rocket succeeds exactly 2 times. Which plan is a complete and correct simulation?
  8. A science class records the elevation of a drone relative to the launch point (launch point is 00 m). The drone rises 121212\frac{1}{2} m, then drops 18.7518.75 m, then rises again by 23\frac{2}{3} of 99 m. What is the drone's final elevation relative to the launch point?
  9. Two classes took the same quiz. The table shows each class's scores. Use the means and the ranges to decide whether the distributions have high overlap or noticeable separation. Which statement is correct?
  10. The figure shows a trapezoid inscribed in a rectangle. What fraction of the rectangle's area is occupied by the trapezoid?
  11. Two students are debating whether (−3)2(-3)^2 and −32-3^2 represent the same value. Student A claims they're equal, while Student B claims they're different. Based on mathematical precision and order of operations, which student is correct?
  12. A machine fills bottles at a rate of 712\frac{7}{12} bottle per minute. At this rate, how long will it take to fill 3535 bottles?
  13. Sarah claims that x+2x+3x=(1+2+3)xx + 2x + 3x = (1 + 2 + 3)x demonstrates the distributive property. Is she correct?
  14. The temperature difference between two cities is 23.8°F23.8°F. If City AA has a temperature of −12.3°F-12.3°F, and City BB is warmer, what is the temperature in City BB?
  15. A bag contains 5 red marbles, 3 blue marbles, and 4 green marbles. Two marbles are drawn without replacement. What is the probability that the first marble is red and the second marble is not red, expressed as a decimal?
  16. A student has $45.00 in a wallet. They spend $18.50, then deposit $30.00. Next, they spend 14\tfrac{1}{4} of the money they have at that point. How much money is left? (Round to the nearest cent.)
  17. A student simplifies an expression for points earned in a game: 12x+1812x+18. Factor the expression completely by finding the greatest common factor (GCF).
  18. In the expression (2x+4)+(3x+1)(2x + 4) + (3x + 1), a student removes parentheses to get 2x+4+3x+12x + 4 + 3x + 1. Which property justifies this step?
  19. Based on the dimensions shown in the diagram, what is the volume of the rectangular prism if its length is three times its width?
  20. A student is explaining why 50=52\sqrt{50} = 5\sqrt{2}. Which approach demonstrates the MOST thorough mathematical communication of radical simplification?
