4.2 Probability
4.3 Borrowing Money

33 Lessons

In this course, students will develop the mathematical understanding and skills to solve problems relating to:

  • Bivariate Graphs
  • Probability and Relative Frequencies
  • Loans and Compound Interest

The subject matter of the topics in this unit should be applied in a meaningful context and of interest to students. Two possible contexts in this unit are ‘Mathematics of health’ and ‘Mathematics of home loans’. However, these contexts may not be relevant to all students.
