Year 12:

In Year 12, students have been consolidating their knowledge of pure mathematics, statistics and mechanics before completing their end-of-year mock assessments. They have also begun studying Year 13 content, including algebraic division and writing expressions using partial fractions.

Questions:

1. What is a null hypothesis? What is an alternative hypothesis?
2. What is the modulus function?
3. Sketch the graph of y=Ix+1I -2

Year 13:

Year 13 have been working hard in preparation for their A-level examinations. In recent lessons, they have worked on hypothesis testing with the normal and binomial distributions.

• Year 10 mock exams will continue next week.
• On Thursday 20th June there will be an information evening regarding the PGL trips, this will begin at 5.00pm.
