Sigma Statistics : NCEA Level 3

Sigma Statistics is a brand-new statistics-focussed textbook following in the tradition of Sigma Mathematics.

The sections on Achievement Standards 3.10, 3.11 and 3.12 provide ground-breaking coverage of the ultimate stages of the statistics enquiry cycle approach. The emphasis is on statistical inference and interpretation rather than on statistical calculation. These chapters feature statistical methods such as bootstrapping, randomisation, resampling and experimental design (treatment and response variables, allocation of treatments, etc.), all of which are new in the Year 13 classroom. There is also a comprehensive selection of statistical reports, giving students the opportunity to practise critiquing causal-relationship claims and interpreting margins of error.
