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.
