Data, graphs, averages and chance. In Year 13, Calculus, probability distributions and financial maths feature in advanced courses; English demands polished essays under time pressure.
Students will practise: describing the direction, form and strength of association on a scatterplot and interpreting Pearson's r; calculating the least-squares regression line from summary statistics or raw data; interpreting the slope, intercept and coefficient of determination in context; using the line to predict, calculating residuals and recognising the risk of extrapolation; calculating z-scores with z = (x − μ) ÷ σ and converting back to raw scores; comparing scores from different distributions using z-scores; applying the 68–95–99.7 (empirical) rule; finding probabilities and percentiles for a normal distribution using a table or calculator.
Clear explanations, examples and tips.

Data, graphs, averages and chance. At Year 13, our resources focus on: describing the direction, form and strength of association on a scatterplot and interpreting Pearson's r; calculating the least-squares regression line from summary statistics or raw data; interpreting the slope, intercept and coefficient of determination in context; using the line to predict, calculating residuals and recognising the risk of extrapolation.
Read the study guide first, then start with the Level 1 or Level 2 worksheet. Finish with the topic test.
Yes — every worksheet has an answer sheet. Maths answer sheets show the working; English tasks include model answers or success criteria.
