In a range of meaningful contexts, students will be engaged in thinking mathematically and statistically. They will solve problems and model situations that require them to:
Statistical investigation
S6-1: Plan and conduct investigations using the statistical enquiry cycle:
- justifying the variables and measures used;
- managing sources of variation, including through the use of random sampling;
- identifying and communicating features in context (trends, relationships between variables, and differences within and between distributions), using multiple displays;
- making informal inferences about populations from sample data;
- justifying findings, using displays and measures.

Statistical literacy
S6-2: Evaluate statistical reports in the media by relating the displays, statistics, processes, and probabilities used to the claims made.

Probability
S6-3: Investigate situations that involve elements of chance:
- comparing discrete theoretical distributions and experimental distributions, appreciating the role of sample size;
- calculating probabilities in discrete situations.
