L3 Statistics - Full Year

Course Overview

This course will cover learning to use Desmos/Geogebra computer software to help graph constraints and find optimal solutions to practical situations, for example the quantities of hand-made and machine-made chocolate required to maximise profit. You will also learn to effectively analyse, display data and structure a report on various types of investigation. This includes using NZGrapher to help make forecasts, analyse patterns and trends. We will also look at sampling error and uncertainty involved in comparing measurements between two groups.
