Statistical Distributions in AS-Level Maths (from Sep 2017):
During the year that students study for an AS-Level in Maths, they will be required to cover the following topic areas in STATISTICAL DISTRIBUTIONS:
- discrete probability distributions including uniform and binomial
These topic areas will be tested in the AS Applied Mathematics paper: Statistics & Mechanics – Paper 2.
Statistical Distributions in A-Level Maths (from Sep 2017):
In addition to the above, students studying for an A-Level in Maths will also be required to study the following areas in STATISTICAL DISTRIBUTIONS:
- the normal distribution and approximations using a binomial distribution
- selecting appropriate distributions
This is done over 2 years and these additional topic areas will be tested in the A-Level Applied Mathematics paper: Statistics & Mechanics – Paper 2.
