AS91586

Apply probability distributions in solving problems

AS91586 is the probability distributions exam in Level 3 Statistics. It covers discrete and continuous distributions (the binomial, Poisson, normal, uniform and triangular), the mean and standard deviation of a random variable, and how true probabilities compare with model and experimental estimates. You are expected to say which distribution you used and to state your assumptions.

Assessed by external examination at the end of the year.
