Riassunto

This comprehensive collection of statistics questions for students of A and AS Level is designed to reinforce confidence and understanding through practice. The exercises are supported by key points and worked examples for each new topic. The book matches current syllabus requirements and covers the majority of topics common to the main syllabuses. Although designed primarily for use in the classroom, it offers support for students working independently on homework or revision.

Recensione

This book is primarily an extensive bank of practice questions (with answers) serving the needs of AS/A level candidates either as a course support text or as a revision aid. It is worth emphasising straightaway that the exercises are the book's greatest strength: they are inventive, well-structured... and notably fresh - the author has resisted any urge to recycle old examination questions.
...The book is excellent on protocols for hypothesis testing, the 'big three' distributions and their mutual approximations, niggly details (such as continuity corrections, Yates, and modelling assumptions for bivariate analysis) and the summary on Data Presentation (including an inventive 'spot the errors' exercise) has gone straight into my teaching file. Overall then, a well-organised compendium of fresh bread-and-butter statistics questions which I could see as being particularly valuable in conjunction with a modular series of texts where (with zealous or resitting candidates) it is all too easy to run out of questions.
