Summary: This book is part of a series of textbooks created for the new University of Cambridge International Examinations (CIE) AS and A Level Mathematics syllabus. The authors have worked with CIE to assure that the content matches the syllabus and is pitched at a suitable level. Each book corresponds to one syllabus unit, except that units P2 and P3 are contained in a single page. The chapters are arranged to provide a viable teaching course. Each chapter starts with a list of learning objectives. Mathematical concepts and explained clearly and carefully. Key results appear in boxes for easy reference. Stimulating examples take a step-by-step approach to problem solving. There are plenty of exercises, as well as revision exercises and practice exam papers – all written by experienced examiners. Statistics 2 corresponds to unit S2. It covers the Poisson distribution, linear combinations of random variables, continuous random variables, sampling and estimation, and hypothesis tests.

This book is part of a series of textbooks created for the new University of Cambridge International Examinations (CIE) AS and A Level Mathematics syllabus.

The authors have worked with CIE to assure that the content matches the syllabus and is pitched at a suitable level. Each book corresponds to one syllabus unit, except that units P2 and P3 are contained in a single page.

There are plenty of exercises, as well as revision exercises and practice exam papers – all written by experienced examiners.

Statistics 2 corresponds to unit S2. It covers the Poisson distribution, linear combinations of random variables, continuous random variables, sampling and estimation, and hypothesis tests.
