Describe the results of two- and three-step chance experiments, both with and without replacements, assign probabilities to outcomes and determine probabilities of events. Investigate the concept of independence (ACMSP246)

Use the language of ‘if ....then', ‘given’, ‘of’, ‘knowing that’ to investigate conditional statements and identify common mistakes in interpreting such language (ACMSP247)

Determine quartiles and interquartile range (ACMSP248)

Construct and interpret box plots and use them to compare data sets (ACMSP249)

Compare shapes of box plots to corresponding histograms and dot plots (ACMSP250)

Use scatter plots to investigate and comment on relationships between two numerical variables (ACMSP251)

Investigate and describe bivariate numerical data where the independent variable is time (ACMSP252)

Evaluate statistical reports in the media and other places by linking claims to displays, statistics and representative data (ACMSP253)
