Description

A-Level Further Maths: Further Statistics 1 is a course for anyone studying A-Level Further Maths who has chosen the Further Statistics 1 module.

This course covers all the content in the Further Statistics 1 paper. The course has been modelled around the Edexcel exam board. Some of the topics covered here appear in other boards, but it's not designed with them in mind . It is, however, a great option for anyone looking to learn more advanced probability and statistics.

The main sections of the course are:

- Discrete Random Variables - we expand what we already know abot discrete random variables, learning how to find expectation and variance.

- The Poisson Distribution - we will learn a brand new discrete distribution and learn how to solve a range of questions relating to it, as well as how to find Poisson approximations of binomial distributions.

- Geometric and Negative Binomial Distributions - we will learn 2 more discrete distributions and learn how to solve questions about these.

- Hypothesis Testing - we'll look at how to test hypotheses relating to the Poisson and Geometric Distributions.

- The Central Limit Theorem - we'll explore this fascinating result and see how to use it solve some quite advanced problems.

- Chi Squared Tests - we'll learn how to test whether data is well modelled by a distribution, and how to test for association.

- Probability Generating Functions - we'll learn what probability generating functions are and how to construct them for all the discrete distributions we know.

- Quality of Tests - we'll learn what Type I and Type II errors are, what statistical power is, and how to create a power function.


What you get in this course:

Videos: Watch as I explain each topic, introducing all the key ideas, and then go through a range of different examples, covering all the important ideas in each. In these videos I also point out the most common misconceptions and errors so that you can avoid them.

Quizzes: Each sub-section is followed by a short quiz for you to test your understanding of the content just covered. Most of the questions in the quizzes are taken from real A-Level past papers. Feel free to ask for help if you get stuck on these!

Worksheets: At the end of each chapter I have made a collection of different questions taken from real A-Level past papers for you to put it all together and try for yourself. At the bottom of each worksheet is a full mark-scheme so you can see how you have done.


This course comes with:

· A 30 day money-back guarantee.

· A printable Udemy certificate of completion.

· Support in the Q&A section - ask me if you get stuck!


I really hope you enjoy this course!
