Statistics courses
|
|
I want to enrol on a statistics course, but have no idea which one to do.
I want to do distance learning.
The obvious choice is to do a maths and statistics a-level. But are there any other better courses out there that someone can recommend?
(Want to complete within 2 years).
Any help would be warmly received.
Thanks

If 'a' has an 80% chance of happening, and 'b' also has an 80% chance of happening, and a and b are indipendent of each others stuff happening....
If both things happened at the same time, with their 80% rate, what is the % rate for them both happening, if you combined the two.

Is the answer Arbroath?

Scully, no, just honest question....64% sounds about right.

So Dave what course would you recommend for syntax coding?

Re: Statistics courses
Feel like there's a trick i'm missing in the wording coz 64% seems too obvious/easy?

Well done Big Dave!
I couldn't work it out!

Would add that anyone can learn the "point and click" aspect of stats packages.
The money is in the syntax element - programming.

I have to agree with Leonard Hatred 3:55 Wed Oct 29
But you should take a course on a statistical package used in business, "r" is good and free, but perhaps they use something like SAS

The "distance from a point to a line" usually means the "distance from a point to the nearest point on a line", which in this case is the centre of the edge.
If this is so, then dividing up the hexagon into by connecting all pairs of opposite vertices results in 6 triangles with base y and height x. The area of one of these is xy/2, so the area of 6 is 3xy, i.e., the area of the hexagon.
As stated by Big Dave.

FH - you're better off splitting the hexagon into 12 right angled triangles each made by joining the 'radius' line from the centre of the hexagon to the middle of each side and adding a line from the centre to each corner. Now that you have a right angled triangle where the sides adjacent to the right angle are of length x and 1/2y respectively it's pretty easy.....
The are of each triangle is 1/2 (x times 1/2y) or 1/4xy.
Since you have 12 of them it sums up to 3xy.
I hope!

True radius would be to a corner but I don't think you can have a radius unless it's a circle?

Centre to the side....i know its not really a radius.
I did the question for my son, took me at least 5 mins.
My son said" I need to do 60 questions in 60 mins!"

How do you get the radius of a hexagon?
Is it measured to a flat side or one of the corners?

Big dave,
I can't actually wotrk it out now, but you need to split the heaxagon up into two triangles and a rectangle.
The area of the rectangle would be 2xy.
Then work out area of triangles!

11 plus is hard!
Question from the maths paper.
A hexagon has y as length of sides.
Assume the "radius" is x; ie from centre to edge.
Express the area in terms of x and y.

Have you tried the 11-plus?

being allowed to give change on your own Abduls Fried Chicken is not an accountancy course

If you did an accountancy qualification you'll have reached the same level of knowledge as someone who has done A level maths.
