ACMGM019

calculate the volumes of standard three-dimensional objects such as spheres, rectangular prisms, cylinders, cones, pyramids and composites in practical situations; for example, the volume of water contained in a swimming pool

ACMGM020

calculate the surface areas of standard three-dimensional objects such as spheres, rectangular prisms, cylinders, cones, pyramids and composites in practical situations; for example, the surface area of a cylindrical food container.

ACMGM032

compare groups on a single numerical variable using medians, means, IQRs, ranges or standard deviations, as appropriate; interpret the differences observed in the context of the data; and report the findings in a systematic and concise manner

ACMMM174

understand the concept of the sample proportion \(\widehat p\) as a random variable whose value varies between samples, and the formulas for the mean \(p\) and standard deviation \(\sqrt[{}]{(p(1-p)/n}\) of the sample proportion \(\widehat p\)

ACMSM137

examine the concept of the sample mean X as a random variable whose value varies between samples where X is a random variable with mean μ and the standard deviation σ

ACSPH141

The Standard Model is based on the premise that all matter in the universe is made up from elementary matter particles called quarks and leptons; quarks experience the strong force, leptons do not

ACSPH142

The Standard Model explains three of the four fundamental forces (strong, weak and electromagnetic forces) in terms of an exchange of force-carrying particles called gauge bosons; each force is mediated by a different type of gauge boson

ACMSM138

simulate repeated random sampling, from a variety of distributions and a range of sample sizes, to illustrate properties of the distribution of \(\overline X\;\) across samples of a fixed size \(n\), including its mean \(\mu\), its standard deviation …

ACHAH366
