Case study
Shahenda is a good and enthusiastic pupil who really enjoys stats
Without statistics, there is nothing you can do. Everything around you is statistics. That's why I chose to study statistics so I can have enough knowledge to express the world around me.
Statistics (A Level)

Assessment
- Year 1 & 2
100% exam (3 papers) - Exam board
Edexcel - Specific entry requirements
Grade 5 in GCSE Maths
What Will You Learn?
A Level Statistics involves you working with mathematical formulae to produce useful results. Using a graphical calculator, you will solve mysteries in probability and data, not just crunching numbers, but explaining what they truly mean. Dive into the world of probability distributions, data collection techniques, and hypothesis testing.
This course is very useful if you wish to pursue university and career routes that require the ability to work with and interpret numerical and statistical data.
Modules
Over the two years you will learn:
1 – Numerical Measures, Graphs and Diagrams
2 – Probability
3 – Population and Samples
4 – Introduction to Probability Distributions
5 – Binomial Distribution
6 – Normal Distribution
7 – Correlation and Linear Regression
8 – Introduction to Hypothesis Testing
9 – Contingency Tables
10 – One and Two Sample Non-parametric Tests
11 – Bayes’ theorem
12 – Probability Distributions
13 – Experimental Design
14 – Sampling, Estimates and Resampling
15 – Hypothesis Testing, Significance Testing, Confidence Intervals and Power
16 – Hypothesis Testing for 1 and 2 Samples
17 – Paired Tests
18 – Exponential and Poisson Distributions
19 – Goodness of Fit
20 – Analysis of Variance
21 – Effect Size
Statistical Enquiry Cycle (SEC)
Special Features
- Group and individual projects investigating data to develop a better understanding of how this is done in real business.
- Guest speaker talks/workshops, trips and visits available.
Where Will This Lead?
A lot of pupils that study A Level Statistics go on to study Maths or Science based subjects at university.
