MAT.LO4 (FET)

Collect, organise, analyse and interpret data to establish statistical and probability models to solve related problems.

AS11.4.1

a. Calculate and represent measures of central tendency and dispersion in univariate numerical data by:
> five number summary (maximum, minimum and quartiles);
> box and whisker diagrams;
> ogives;
> calculating the variance and standard deviation of sets of data manually (for small sets of data) and using available technology (for larger sets of data), and representing results graphically using histograms and frequency polygons.
b. Represent bivariate numerical data as a scatter plot and suggest intuitively whether a linear, quadratic or exponential function would best fit the data (problems should include issues related to health, social, economic, cultural, political and environmental issues).

AS11.4.2

a. Correctly identify dependent and independent events (e.g. from two-way contingency tables or Venn diagrams) and therefore appreciate when it is appropriate to calculate the probability of two independent events occurring by applying the product rule for independent events: P(A and B) = P(A).P(B).
b. Use tree and Venn diagrams to solve probability problems (where events are not necessarily independent).
