Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Mr F. Cheung.
This course is intended for those students who are interested in number crunching with spreadsheets, data analysis and interpretation, data mining, accounting, experimental research in Commerce, Computer Science, Science, Sport, Health and the Humanities. The learning will focus on exploring, analysing and presenting data in all its forms, both physical and digital. Students will learn how to manipulate data with spreadsheets and other on-line statistical tools, to collect and analyse their data with sampling techniques, look for patterns and put forward interpretations, graphs and conclusions. Analyses will include bivariate data (scatterplots), comparative multivariate data (box plots) and time series data. This course will also spend some time on Numeracy revision, for those students who are sitting this digital assessment.
This is a full year course and counts as both of your Mathematics course selections.
