Prior knowledge:
The Large Data Set (LDS):
Some of the statistics material in your exam will be based around a large data set. You can find more details about this below.
New textbooks:
The following textbooks are based on the applied content (mechanics and statistics) for A Level Maths in the new specification. You can find short answers at the end of each document, plus full worked solutions in the SolutionBanks below. Enjoy!
Old textbooks:
The following textbooks are based on the statistics content in the old specification. They will provide a good starting point for extra worked examples and practice questions, but be aware that there is not a perfect crossover with the new specification! Read the specification on the course page or check with your teacher if you are unsure which topics you should be revising.
Calculator guide:
The calculator guide videos for statistics can be found here. [Note: Some of the videos relate to the FX-CG50 - a graphical display calculator - which is not a required purchase for this course.]
An additional PowerPoint guide on using the Casio FX-991EX Classwiz calculator can also be found here.
