The course involves carrying out investigations of phenomena using the Statistical Inquiry Cycle, conducting experiments, and analysing exploratory data and statistical inference. There are also aspects of linear algebra that are related to inequalities and optimisation. There will also be an opportunity to work with elements of chance.
This course will be assessed through three internal standards and one external standard. To support the work towards the externals there will also be appropriate topic tests throughout the course.
