What is A2 Statistics? Statistics is an application of Mathematics but is a growing field of study in its own right; more and more areas of our lives are influenced by Statistics and knowing just how they fit into other studies must be an advantage. Statistics is used in everything from deciding how much orange juice Tesco will buy next year to whether or not a new drug will indeed cure a serious illness. It is said that no-one can now expect to get through their working life without some contact with computers; the same is rapidly becoming true of Statistics. What will I study? As with all other AS and A Levels the course is divided into six modules. At first much of the work is learning the ‘tools of the trade’, but we soon start to apply them in analysing data and understanding what it is telling us. We will consider types of data and how to handle it, we will be doing probability again, but more importantly we move from the GCSE Maths work to look at the patterns in Statistics and how these are used in the analysis of situations in order to make reasonable judgements.
