STA2 Course DescriptionTeacher in Charge: Mr D. Neufeld.
Recommended Prior LearningTo be able to enter STA2, students MUST achieve at least 7 Mathematics Level 1 credits from either MTS1 or MTA1.
Statistics Level 2
This course takes the statistics learned in Level One to the next level and also introduces new statistically based topics, which then continue into Level Three statistics and beyond.
To be able to enter STA2, students MUST achieve at least 7 Mathematics Level 1 credits from either MTS1 or MTA1.
Statistics, applicable to all areas of everything that humans do, is an essential form of Mathematics, which is needed in all fields of employment and academics. Combining Mathematics with social context, writing and making sense of the real world, this course is a stepping stone towards incredible career opportunities in understanding and working with data.
A tablet or laptop is highly recommended for this course.
