This paper covers
- Differentiation: chain, product and quotient rules on exponential, logarithmic and trigonometric functions (Unit 3)
- Applications of differentiation: stationary points, inflections, concavity, kinematics and optimisation
- Integration: standard antiderivatives, reverse chain rule, definite integrals, area under and between curves, trapezoidal rule
- Discrete random variables: Bernoulli sequences, binomial distribution, expected value and variance
- Continuous random variables and the normal distribution: z-scores, technology probabilities and inverse normal
- Inferential statistics: sampling distribution of the sample proportion, confidence intervals, margin of error and sample size
- 2D/3D trigonometry: sine rule, cosine rule and bearings
- Complex Unfamiliar synthesis with written contextual conclusions, applied to a rural-intersection road-safety reaction-time study
