Mathematics 2.13 Investigate a situation involving elements of chance using a simulation (2 credits)

Achievement

You need to investigate a situation involving elements of chance using a simulation.

This requires you to show evidence of using each component of the simulation process.

You need to be familiar with the components of the simulation process which involves:

- designing a simulation for a given situation
- identifying tools to be used
- defining a trial and the number of trials
- determining data recording methods
- carrying out the simulation and record outcomes
- selecting and using appropriate displays and measures
- communicating findings in a conclusion.

Mathematics 2.9 Use statistical methods to make an inference (4 credits)

Achievement

You need to use statistical methods to make an inference.

This requires you to show evidence of using each component of the statistical enquiry cycle to make an inference:

- conducting the experiment and population measures and variables
- sampling methods
- posing an appropriate comparison question from a given set of population data
- make inferences from surveys:
- using sample statistics to make point estimates of population parameters
- recognising the effect of sample size on the variability of an estimate.
- You need to be familiar with features such as:
- posing an appropriate comparison question from a given set of population data
- selecting random samples
- selecting and using appropriate displays and measures
- discussing sample distributions
- discussing sampling variability, including the variability of estimates
- making an inference
- communicating findings in a conclusion
