Mathematics (Statistics)

Course summary

This course will develop your ability to apply a statistical eye to the world. You will develop essential skills needed to work with data sets, allowing you to interpret results and understand the world around you. Statistical analysis is used in many A Level and degree programmes including Geography, Biology, Psychology and Economics. If there are facts to analyse, then Statistics is your toolkit. The course is directly applicable and focuses on the development of the data handling and probability skills learnt at GCSE. You will study experimental design, collection of data, representations of data and interpretations, standard distributions, probability theory and hypothesis testing. This course can be taken in addition to A Level mathematics or as an alternative.
