Mathematics & Statistics
Document outlining 2024/2025 Mathematics plan.
Note that levels 4 and 5 are intended to be two year programmes.
This term we will finish both probability concepts and probability distributions.
- true probability versus model estimates versus experimental estimates
- randomness
- independence
- mutually exclusive events
- conditional probabilities
- probability distribution tables and graphs
- two-way tables
- probability trees
- venn diagrams
- risk and relative risk
In probability distributions we will look at the rectangular, triangular, poisson, binomial and normal distributions.
