Statistical Modelling

This is a collection of statistics problems organised by curriculum content. More topics are available in the statistics curriculum mapping pages.

Stats Statements

Age 16 to 18
Challenge Level Yellow star

Are these statistical statements sometimes, always or never true? Or it is impossible to say?

The Random World

Age 11 to 18

Think that a coin toss is 50-50 heads or tails? Read on to appreciate the ever-changing and random nature of the world in which we live.

Probably a Code?

Age 16 to 18
Challenge Level Yellow starYellow starYellow star

Is the regularity shown in this encoded message noise or structure?

The Wrong Stats

Age 16 to 18
Challenge Level Yellow star

Why MUST these statistical statements probably be at least a little bit wrong?

Top Marks

Age 16 to 18
Challenge Level Yellow starYellow star

Can you make all of these statements about averages true at the same time?

A Random Rambling Rant

Age 5 to 18

A random ramble for teachers through some resources that might add a little life to a statistics class.

Making Sense of Statistics

Age 16 to 18
Challenge Level Yellow star

This collection of problems helps Stage 4 and 5 students to explore and make sense of statistics.

Data and Statistics

Age 11 to 18
Challenge Level Yellow star
