Year 12 Mathematics with Statistics
Although next year timetables are yet to be finalised, course selection is now finished. Any changes to student courses will now take place in January.
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Ms K. Thorne.
This course is primarily internally assessed and allows students to gain a good number of Level Two credits across a wide range of topics such as Simulations, Questionnaire Design, Statistics and Probability. Students will learn how to run controlled statistical experiments, how to make inferences from sample data from a population and there will also be an element of design using Graphs.
Students taking this course should be comfortable with the idea that a significant amount of their work will be analysing data and writing reports.
The course prepares students for the Level Three Statistics course or could lead onto the Level Three Mathematics course.
