Investigate associations using appropriately percentaged two-way tables, scatterplots, correlation and least-squares models. Identify explanatory and response variables, interpret slope and intercept in context, and connect the coefficient of determination to explained variation.
Generate arithmetic and geometric sequences recursively and represent their terms in tables and graphs. Deduce nth-term rules from patterns and use first-order linear recurrence relations to model discrete growth, decay and steady-state behaviour.
Represent connected systems with vertices, edges and appropriate matrices. Analyse degree, connectivity, walks, trails, paths, circuits and cycles, including Eulerian and Hamiltonian features and planar graphs.
Identify the components of a time series, smooth data with moving averages and centre even-period averages. Use the average percentage method for seasonal indices, deseasonalise observations and make contextual forecasts.
Model compound interest, depreciation, reducing-balance loans and annuities with recurrence relations. Use numerical tables, graphs and financial technology to compare rates, payments, balances and durations, including perpetuities.
Solve small shortest-path and flow problems, find minimum spanning trees, schedule projects through critical-path analysis and optimise one-to-one assignments. Relate every mathematical result to the constraints represented by the network.
