2 Statistics
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Mrs M. Darroch.
People are constantly confronted with data and the need to make choices and decisions from the raw data they receive. Phones deliver information about traffic, we have ratings about restaurants or books, and even rankings of hospitals. Parents can obtain complex information about the high schools they want their children to go to. Data is everywhere, our lives are governed by numbers, we need to know the appropriate methods of thinking, analysing and making sense of data.
This course will build on the Statistics work you have done in Years 9, 10 & 11. It will encourage you to question what you see in the data and critically evaluate others’ reports. You will continue to develop an appreciation of variation and understanding of risks and relative risks. Your sound statistical reasoning will cross over and complement work in your other subjects.
Our aim is to give you the statistical foundation to be able to intelligently cope with the requirements of citizenship, employment and family and to be prepared for a healthy, happy and productive life.
