Further Statistics 1: distributions and tests flashcards

14 cards drawn from 9 lessons: 9 standard results, 1 definition, 2 recall prompts, 1 check-yourself question and 1 spot-the-error card. Means, variances and test machinery for the distributions the option paper adds. Rate each answer to set a shorter or longer interval before the card is due again.

How the five kinds differ

Standard results ask for a formula or value that may need to be recalled. Definitions ask for a mathematical term to be stated precisely. Recall prompts ask for a rule, condition or method. Check yourself cards contain a short question and answer. Spot the error cards ask you to correct an inaccurate claim.
