Textbook style questions for Higher Applications of Mathematics - Statistics. These may be useful to anybody teaching introductory Statistics, but these questions have been tailored with the SQA course in mind. These questions were designed for students to complete using a computer and R Studio. There are 9 chapters covering the Statistics part of the course: 1 Tree Diagrams 2 Venn Diagrams 3 Types of Data 4 Graphs and Charts 5 Scatterplots and Linear Relationships 6 Outliers, Averages and Spread 7 Fitting Linear Regression, Predicting and Trends 8 Hypothesis Testing and Confidence Intervals 9 Hypothesis Tests and Errors 10 Completing Hypothesis Tests I’ve included answers at the end of each chapter. I have made the answers as detailed as I can, so that struggling students can read them and better understand the problems. Often I include bits of R code in the answers.

This case study contains 18 exam-style Higher Apps questions, all themed around ecology. It begins with some information about ecology, similar to a Higher Apps pre-release document. The questions cover a variety of topics from the course, including statistics, absolute errors, using goal seek and PERT charts. Could be used as a class assignment, or even an assessment. For more Higher Apps content see applyingmaths.com!

Four chapters of questions for Higher Applications. Covers Accumulation, Goal Seek, Present Value and adapting Spreadsheets. Answers included. Excel Spreadsheets and PDF questions included.

Exam style questions, and datasets, inspired by the 2022 Data Booklet for the SQA higher applications exam.

Types of Data questions, including answers. Categorical, Numerical, Discrete and Continuous. Aimed at those studying higher applications of mathematics, but would work for any course. All questions on the worksheet can also be found on my itempool: itempool.com/MrBrynJones/higherapps

This resource covers the “Hypothesis Testing and Confidence Intervals” part of the Higher Applications of Mathematics Statistics course. The material was made to be delivered over the course of a week. I’ve designed this Powerpoint to be used in tandem with Scholar and my textbook. You will see references to exercises from these resources. Enjoy!

This resource covers the “Correlation and Linear Regression” part of the Higher Applications of Mathematics Statistics course. The material was made to be delivered over the course of a week. I’ve designed this Powerpoint to be used in tandem with Scholar and my textbook. You will see references to exercises from these resources. I also recommend giving your students the Biomass past paper question (Q8 June 2021) at the end of the week. You can find that question here: https://www.sqa.org.uk/sqa/93396.html Check out my blog for more: https://mrjonesmaths.blogspot.com

Tree diagrams questions, including answers. Aimed at those studying higher applications of mathematics, but would work for any course. All questions on the worksheet can also be found on my itempool: itempool.com/MrBrynJones/higherapps

Venn diagram questions, including answers. Aimed at those studying higher applications of mathematics, but would work for any course. All questions on the worksheet can also be found on my itempool: itempool.com/MrBrynJones/higherapps If you give this to students after introducing R then there’s an extra credit coding question at the end. Don’t worry if not, everything else is accessible.

This resource covers the “Interpreting Data” part of the Higher Applications of Mathematics Statistics course. The material was made to be delivered over the course of a week. I’ve designed this Powerpoint to be used in tandem with Scholar and my textbook. You will see references to exercises from these resources.
