Practical Statistics supports your understanding of mathematics and builds on your knowledge using the statistical inquiry cycle. You will research, plan, conduct, collect the data, employ the correct analyses, and effectively present the results of a statistical experiment, probability simulation and a survey. 

You will also analyse different types of data from a range of situations, including experimental, multivariate, probability and surveys. 

This course allows you to understand, interpret and evaluate statistics from real life much more deeply. 

After successfully completing this course you will be able to continue your statistics journey into a university approved pathway, to year 13 Practical Statistics. Where new topics will be studied and the topics covered this year will be delved into more deeply.

Those students who plan to progress in a Mathematics related discipline such as Science, Economics or Engineering should take 12MATP or 12MATS.

A graphics calculator is essential for this course.
