9015 Apply Knowledge of Statistics And Probability to Critically Interrogate and Effectively Communicate Findings On Life Related Problems
What is this course about?
This Unit Standard is designed to provide credits towards the mathematical literacy requirement of the NQF at Level 4. The essential purposes of the mathematical literacy requirement are that, as the learner progresses with confidence through the levels, the learner will grow in:
A confident, insightful use of mathematics in the management of the needs of everyday living to become a self-managing person
An understanding of mathematical applications that provides insight into the learner`s present and future occupational experiences `and so develop into a contributing worker
The ability to voice a critical sensitivity to the role of mathematics in a democratic society and so become a participating citizen.
People credited with this unit standard are able to:
- Critique and use techniques for collecting, organising and representing data.
- Use theoretical and experimental probability to develop models, make predictions and study problems.
- Critically
Key content covered
NQF Level 4 - 6 Credits
This unit standard replaces:
This unit standard does not replace any other unit standard and is not replaced by any other unit standard.
Learning assumed to be in place and recognition of prior learning
The credit value is based on the assumption that people starting to learn towards this unit standard are competent in Mathematical Literacy and Communications at NQF level 3.
Unit standard range
This unit standard includes the requirement to:
Critique the selection of samples in terms of size and representativeness.
Identify features of distributions: symmetry and asymmetry, clusters and gaps, and possible outliers in data and consider their effects on the interpretation of the data. Critique the use of data from samples to estimate population statistics.
Apply an understanding of random phenomena to critique and interpret real life and work-related situations.
Critique arguments based on probability in terms of an understanding of random behaviour
You benefit from our experience
Please note that this is a fundamental unit standard, and in accordance with Services SETA can therefore only be accredited if completed with an additional core or elective. Please contact us should you have any questions.
