- Visual Displays: Five-number summary and box plots.
Week 3: Single-Event Probability & Experiments
- Theoretical Basics: Probability scale (0–1), calculating outcomes, complementary events.
- Experimental Probability: Relative frequency vs. theoretical expectations.
Week 4: Compound Events & Multi-Step Experiments
- Visualising Outcomes: Venn diagrams, two-way tables, and tree diagrams.
- Multi-Step Probabilities: Independent vs. dependent events (with/without replacement).
