This course is recommended for students who wish to continue with statistics at Level 3 and whose achievement at Level 2 suggests that they would be more successful in a course which is predominantly internally assessed and has selected content. The principles of organising, processing and analysing data are extended to include making predictions, interpreting results and evaluating the process. There is a strong computer technology component.
The course includes 16 Statistics credits towards 14 credits in Statistics for University Entrance, OR 19 Mathematics credits towards 14 credits in Mathematics for University Entrance.
