• VCMNA333

  Substitute values into formulas to determine an unknown and re-arrange formulas to solve for a particular term

  Elaborations

  • solving simple equations arising from formulas
  • re-arranging expressions to make a specified variable the subject such as calculating the radius of a sphere to produce a given volume

  VCMNA333 | Mathematics | Level 10 | Number and Algebra | Patterns and algebra

• VCMSP349

  Determine quartiles and interquartile range and investigate the effect of individual data values, including outliers on the interquartile range

  Elaborations

  • finding the five-number summary (minimum and maximum values, median and upper and lower quartiles) and using its graphical representation, the box plot, as tools for both numerically and visually comparing the centre and spread of data sets
  • exploring the effect of varying data values, including outliers, on the interquartile range for different sets of data

  VCMSP349 | Mathematics | Level 10 | Statistics and Probability | Data representation and interpretation

• VCMNA342

  Solve equations using systematic guess-check-and-refine with digital technology

  Elaborations

  • refining intervals on graphs and/or in tables of values to determine with increasing accuracy when the values of two functions are approximately equal

  VCMNA342 | Mathematics | Level 10 | Number and Algebra | Linear and non-linear relationships

• VCMSP347

  Describe the results of two- and three-step chance experiments, both with and without replacements, assign probabilities to outcomes and determine probabilities of events. Investigate the concept of independence

  Elaborations

  • recognising that an event can be dependent on another event and that this will affect the way its probability is calculated

  VCMSP347 | Mathematics | Level 10 | Statistics and Probability | Chance

• VCMSP350

  Construct and interpret box plots and use them to compare data sets

  Elaborations

  • understanding that box plots are an efficient and common way of representing and summarising data and can facilitate comparisons between data sets
  • using parallel box plots to compare data about the age distribution of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people with that of the Australian population as a whole
