Worked solution P17-Toughest-14. Publish only the portion supported by the current College Board page, cite and date it, and mark every unresolved 2027 detail as unconfirmed. Controlling fact: Section II contains four 10-point free-response questions in 90 minutes and is worth 50 percent of the exam score. A derived rate such as (90/42=2.14) is reproducible arithmetic. A calendar date, device rule, or score boundary is administrative evidence and cannot be derived. Interpretation: Accuracy for 4 frqs depends on separating quoted policy, transparent arithmetic, historical comparison, and editorial inference. Validity: Compare page year, page owner, update date, standard versus late testing, and whether the statement is a rule or an illustrative practice recommendation.

Worked solution P17-Toughest-15. Publish only the portion supported by the current College Board page, cite and date it, and mark every unresolved 2027 detail as unconfirmed. Controlling fact: Geometric distributions, chi-square goodness-of-fit, and inference for a regression slope are not in the revised 2026-27 AP Statistics core. A derived rate such as (90/42=2.14) is reproducible arithmetic. A calendar date, device rule, or score boundary is administrative evidence and cannot be derived. Interpretation: Accuracy for fall 2026 ced depends on separating quoted policy, transparent arithmetic, historical comparison, and editorial inference. Validity: Compare page year, page owner, update date, standard versus late testing, and whether the statement is a rule or an illustrative practice recommendation.
