Key Trends (2021–2025)
Data Analysis:
Graphical interpretation and computation of mean, median, standard deviation, IQR appear every year.
Probability & Random Variables:
Frequently tested using realistic scenarios , often combining multiple probability rules.
Sampling & Experimental Design:
Students must identify biases, design surveys/experiments , and analyze study quality.
Inference & Confidence Intervals:
T-tests, z-tests, and CI calculations are a major focus for evaluating population parameters.
Regression & Correlation:
Applied problems interpreting scatterplots, computing least-squares lines, residuals, and correlation strength.
Common Question Types
Computational: Probability, expected value, CI calculations, regression parameters.
Conceptual Reasoning: Explaining statistical principles, identifying biases, and interpreting results.
Graph Interpretation: Scatterplots, histograms, boxplots, residual plots.
Experimental Design / Data Analysis: Plan studies, critique surveys, identify confounding variables.
