Total of 5 Credits - Internally Assessed This book contains notes, questions and practice investigations for the Experimental Probability Investigation for 1.1 Statistical Enquiry Process. An Experimental Probability Investigation is one of the four options for the assessment of this standard, the other options are : Relationship Investigation, Time Series Investigation and Comparison Investigation. This standard is internally assessed and is worth 5 credits. Students are able to and encouraged to use appropriate technology, such as graphing calculators/software in their learning and assessment for this standard.

Topics Covered by this Resource Include : Probability from Experiments Organising Data Data Display Using Technology Theoretical Probability Expectation Experimental Problem, Plan and Data Theoretical Comparisons Form a Conclusion Example Investigation Practice Investigations The Sigma Workbook 'AS 1.1 Experimental Probability Investigation' is best bought before the standard is taught at school and used throughout this time as a classroom and homework resource. Alternatively, the workbook would make an excellent independent study resource in the lead-up to the internal assessment of Achievement Standard 1.1. Once completed, 'AS 1.1 Experimental Probability Investigation' provides a useful set of revision notes at assessment time.
