Written by an experienced teacher and author, this coursebook helps your students build a confident working knowledge of concepts in probability and statistics. Students will develop their data literacy skills by using statistics in real-world contexts and analysing the results of statistical techniques. A wide range of activities provide opportunities to practise applying key statistical methods and measures, such as sampling, linear interpolation and standard deviation. Help your students prepare for further study by providing opportunities to display their practical skills, such as selecting an appropriate statistics technique for a given scenario and explaining their reasoning. This coursebook has additional support features for planning and teaching, as well as supporting visuals and a clear language of instruction. Suitable to support the Cambridge IGCSE Statistics syllabus (0479) for examination from 2027.
