Statistics
Level 3
10 level 2 Credits from 12MAC or 12MAS. If prerequisites are not met, entry may be granted at the discretion of the HOD (Mrs Singh).
This course caters to students who are mathematically inclined but is also worthwhile for students looking to study the sciences, social sciences (including psychology, sociology), medical science (e.g. medicine, dentistry, physiotherapy, psychiatry, etc.), physical education, geography, consumer science, accounting, marketing or economics. It is accessible to students who may struggle with algebraic thinking but are interested in developing their statistical understanding and literacy.
Students will use the PPDAC cycle to investigate the time-series, bivariate and multivariate data. They will also learn about probability theory including various distributions.
Students with high literacy skills and the ability to make connections between mathematical concepts and real-world contexts will do well in statistics.
