Pakuranga College
Learning Areas:
Level 3 Mathematics with Statistics
13MTS Course DescriptionTeacher in Charge: Mr P. Johal.
Recommended Prior LearningThis course requires students to have demonstrated strong Statistics and Probability skills in Year 12. It is highly recommended that you have successfully achieved the following internal standard:
- AS91264 (Informal Inference - Internal)
- AS91267 (Probability Methods - External)
If you enjoy analysing graphs and data then this course is for you. This course will look at interpreting data and making conclusions or predictions based on the models you have used.
In 13MTS, students will be expected to learn and apply skills in the following areas:
- Statistical Inference - Using the statistical enquiry cycle to make a formal inference given a multivariate data set.
- Time Series - Using the statistical enquiry cycle to investigate time series data and produce a report.
- Probability Concepts - Comparison of true and experimental probabilities, conditional probabilities, probability distribution tables and graphs, two-way tables, probability trees and Venn diagrams.
- Probability Distributions - Applying Poisson, binomial, triangular, rectangular and normal distributions, comparison of true probabilities versus distribution of model estimates.
- Bivariate Data - Use of statistical enquiry cycle to investigate the relationship between two numerical variables.
