The aim of the probability unit is two-fold: it provides certain understandings intrinsic to problem solving and it underpins the statistics unit. It is expected that the
conduct of experiments (including simulations), both individually and in groups, will form the primary vehicle through which the knowledge, understanding and skills in
probability are developed. References should be made to appropriate contexts and applications of probability.
It is envisaged that throughout the statistics course learners will be involved in identifying problems that can be explored by the use of appropriate data, designing investigations, collecting data, exploring and using patterns and relationships in data, solving problems, and communicating findings. This strand also involves interpreting statistical information, evaluating data-based arguments, and dealing with uncertainty and variation.
