A Level Statistics focuses on the interpretation of the numbers, rather than how to calculate them, providing an insight into real world situations with no definitive answer. This Statistics course is designed primarily for candidates who wish to study the applications of statistical techniques to biology, business studies, economics, management and the humanities. The emphasis in Statistics is on uses of mathematics, rather than the logic, style and rigour of Pure Mathematics. This course is not suitable for students who will be studying Mathematics or certain types of Engineering at university. In order to gain an understanding of the world around us, we need to be able to compare between what has been observed and what is expected. Almost every job in the world requires a degree of data collection and analysis, followed up by the interpretation of the numerical evidence: this is the nature of Statistics. The course builds on descriptive statistics such as finding averages and summarsing data. This leads onto inferential statistics where you test whether an observed result is significantly different from what might be expected. The role of technology is heavily relied on and the application to a wide range of situations is explored.
As a minimum you need : • Grade 5 or B in GCSE Mathematics. • Grade 4 or C in GCSE English Language. You also need to • Be well organised. • Be able to draw clear, well labelled diagrams and present work systematically.
