Showing 1 - 10 of 13 Standards

Standard Identifier: N-RN.1

Grade Range: 8–12
Domain: The Real Number System
Discipline: Math II
Conceptual Category: Number and Quantity

Cluster:
Extend the properties of exponents to rational exponents.

Standard:
Explain how the definition of the meaning of rational exponents follows from extending the properties of integer exponents to those values, allowing for a notation for radicals in terms of rational exponents. For example, we define 5^1/3 to be the cube root of 5 because we want (5^1/3)^3 = 5(^1/3)^3 to hold, so (5^1/3)^3 must equal 5.

Standard Identifier: N-RN.2

Grade Range: 8–12
Domain: The Real Number System
Discipline: Math II
Conceptual Category: Number and Quantity

Cluster:
Extend the properties of exponents to rational exponents.

Standard:
Rewrite expressions involving radicals and rational exponents using the properties of exponents.

Standard Identifier: N-RN.3

Grade Range: 8–12
Domain: The Real Number System
Discipline: Math II
Conceptual Category: Number and Quantity

Cluster:
Use properties of rational and irrational numbers.

Standard:
Explain why the sum or product of two rational numbers is rational; that the sum of a rational number and an irrational number is irrational; and that the product of a nonzero rational number and an irrational number is irrational.

Standard Identifier: S-MD.6

Grade Range: 8–12
Domain: Using Probability to Make Decisions
Discipline: Math II
Conceptual Category: Statistics and Probability

Cluster:
Use probability to evaluate outcomes of decisions. [Introductory; apply counting rules.]

Standard:
(+) Use probabilities to make fair decisions (e.g., drawing by lots, using a random number generator). *

Standard Identifier: S-MD.7

Grade Range: 8–12
Domain: Using Probability to Make Decisions
Discipline: Math II
Conceptual Category: Statistics and Probability

Cluster:
Use probability to evaluate outcomes of decisions. [Introductory; apply counting rules.]

Standard:
(+) Analyze decisions and strategies using probability concepts (e.g., product testing, medical testing, pulling a hockey goalie at the end of a game). *

Standard Identifier: S-MD.1

Grade Range: 10–12
Domain: Using Probability to Make Decisions
Discipline: Statistics and Probability
Conceptual Category: Statistics and Probability

Cluster:
Calculate expected values and use them to solve problems.

Standard:
(+) Define a random variable for a quantity of interest by assigning a numerical value to each event in a sample space; graph the corresponding probability distribution using the same graphical displays as for data distributions. *

Standard Identifier: S-MD.2

Grade Range: 10–12
Domain: Using Probability to Make Decisions
Discipline: Statistics and Probability
Conceptual Category: Statistics and Probability

Cluster:
Calculate expected values and use them to solve problems.

Standard:
(+) Calculate the expected value of a random variable; interpret it as the mean of the probability distribution. *

Standard Identifier: S-MD.3

Grade Range: 10–12
Domain: Using Probability to Make Decisions
Discipline: Statistics and Probability
Conceptual Category: Statistics and Probability

Cluster:
Calculate expected values and use them to solve problems.

Standard:
(+) Develop a probability distribution for a random variable defined for a sample space in which theoretical probabilities can be calculated; find the expected value. For example, find the theoretical probability distribution for the number of correct answers obtained by guessing on all five questions of a multiple-choice test where each question has four choices, and find the expected grade under various grading schemes.*

Standard Identifier: S-MD.4

Grade Range: 10–12
Domain: Using Probability to Make Decisions
Discipline: Statistics and Probability
Conceptual Category: Statistics and Probability

Cluster:
Calculate expected values and use them to solve problems.

Standard:
(+) Develop a probability distribution for a random variable defined for a sample space in which probabilities are assigned empirically; find the expected value. For example, find a current data distribution on the number of TV sets per household in the United States, and calculate the expected number of sets per household. How many TV sets would you expect to find in 100 randomly selected households? *

Standard Identifier: S-MD.5.a

Grade Range: 10–12
Domain: Using Probability to Make Decisions
Discipline: Statistics and Probability
Conceptual Category: Statistics and Probability

Cluster:
Use probability to evaluate outcomes of decisions.

Standard:
(+) Weigh the possible outcomes of a decision by assigning probabilities to payoff values and finding expected values. * Find the expected payoff for a game of chance. For example, find the expected winnings from a state lottery ticket or a game at a fast-food restaurant. *
