Mathematics (Statistics)

Course summary

A level Statistics might appeal to the student seeking to pursue the study of a numerate post-16 subject but not wishing to study pure mathematics. It sits well with subjects such as A level Biology, Psychology, Geography, Business Studies and Economics. The emphasis is on using and applying statistics; appropriate interpretation of contexts and the outcomes of statistical procedures will be required. Content will focus on using distributions to make predictions and completing hypothesis tests to test the validity of assertions made about data in a variety of practical contexts.
