The course can be broken down into 4 areas and lasts for 1 year: Applications of Statistics - this takes all the statistics content from Higher GCSE maths including, box plots, cumulative frequency tables and graphs and histograms along with quartiles and interquartile range, and adds new statistical analysis skills including, moving averages, variance and standard deviation, knowledge of independent and dependent variables, product moment correlation coefficient, linear regression and Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient. All of which are used for everyday analysis of any data. Probability - this takes all of the Higher GCSE content, including conditional probability, and teaches students how to use probability to work out risk vs reward. Linear programming - this builds on a pupil’s understanding of graphs, equations of a straight line, solving equations, and inequalities. It then takes it and applies them to solving 2 variable programs allowing pupils to work out the best way to maximise profit from those 2 variables. Sequences and Growth - this builds on a pupil’s understanding of percentages, percentage growth/decay and sequences. This leads into interest rates on loans, depreciation of purchases, golden ratio and can then be used in the context of growing their own workforce or business.
• Achieving 5 Grade 5s including GCSE English Language and GCSE Mathematics • Grade 5 or higher in GCSE Mathematics There may be scope for those who achieve a high 4 to take this subject too
• Component 1: Written assessment 1hr 40 mins Paper code 7MC0/01 (60 marks) • Component 2: Written assessment 1hr 40 mins Paper code 7MC0/02 (80 marks) Component 1 is a comprehension type assessment. You will be given a source booklet with multiple different pieces of information, taken from real world data, and asked to analyse it using techniques that you have learned during the course. The sources are available in advance to help with the analysis of the data. Component 2 is split into 2 sections. Section A follows on from paper 1 and keeps the context from those sources, without reusing them. Section B will give 3 tasks, each with a different theme. Both papers may assess any of the course material. Calculators can be used in both papers.
