  • use relative frequency to provide an estimate of the probability of an event

6. 
  • sort, organise, clean and represent multi-variate data, making appropriate use of histograms, stem-and-leaf plots, box plots (box-and-whisker diagrams) and scatter plots
  • graph time-series data.

  • find, use and interpret measures of centre and spread, including mean and interquartile range.
