Apply knowledge of statistics and probability to critically interrogate and effectively communicate findings on life related problems US

This Unit Standard is designed to provide credits towards the mathematical literacy requirement of the NQF at Level 4. The essential purposes of the mathematical literacy requirement are that, as the learner progresses with confidence through the levels, the learner will grow in:

A confident, insightful use of mathematics in the management of the needs of everyday living to become a self-managing person

An understanding of mathematical applications that provides insight into the learner`s present and future occupational experiences `and so develop into a contributing worker

The ability to voice a critical sensitivity to the role of mathematics in a democratic society and so become a participating citizen.

People credited with this unit standard are able to:

Critique and use techniques for collecting, organising and representing data.

Use theoretical and experimental probability to develop models, make predictions and study problems.

Critically interrogate and use probability and statistical models in problem solving and decision making in real-world situations.
