NCEA Level 3 Statistics

Statistics

Statistics, at its disciplinary core, is the science of understanding data. 

Qualitative data, which is difficult or impossible to quantify, and quantitative data are both types of information that statistics help us analyze, process and use.

The better grasp you have on statistics and statistical analysis, the more prepared you’ll be in a range of activities and situations, from playing games to doing your job. 

Statistical analysis is prevalent in all walks of life, and no student should graduate without a basic understanding of statistics. 

Statistical analysis is useful in every single academic discipline and virtually every job you’ll ever have (if not to your tasks specifically, it will to your organization). 

An understanding of basic statistics helps you make decisions about where to live, how to use your time and money and how to evaluate the information around you.

In this course, you will learn about probability laws and distributions.

The course investigates methods of regression analysis and the development of mathematical models to describe relationships between random variables.
