Large Data Set A level Maths

I’m studying A level Edexcel Maths and I’m not quite sure what exactly we need to know? The book doesn’t explain it too well either.

Taken from Resourceaholic:

Large Data Set Resources (Edexcel only)

Data Set Activities - Edexcel

'Cambourne' (correlation and regression task) - @DanMWhitehouse

'Inland vs Coast' (analysis activity) - @DanMWhitehouse



Also make sure you attempt every question related to the LDS in your textbook. When you revise, try using some of the statistical tests against the LDS data e.g. you could find the standard deviation of part of it and think about its limitations.

Finally make sure you try every question involving the LDS in all the specimen, mock, past and practice papers (your teacher should provide you with all of these).

I think if you do all of this then you'll be better prepared than most and should be able to tackle an LDS question in the real thing.
