          o   Primary and secondary data
    o   Qualitative and Quantitative data
    o  Discrete and continuous data
-          Distinguish between sample and population
-          Identify various methods of choosing a sample from a population
-          Identify various methods of collecting data

-          Introduce the arithmetic mean, median and mode
-          Identify situations where each becomes an appropriate measure of central
       tendency
-          Determine from ungrouped data the arithmetic mean, the mode and the median
-          Determine from grouped data:
   o   The arithmetic mean

        interquartile range, standard deviation) in comparing and contrasting sets
        of data
-          Determine the median value, the quartiles and the interquartile range of a set of
       data

        data
-          Calculate the standard deviation from a set of ungrouped and grouped data
-          Use appropriate measures of dispersion to solve work related problems

-          Understand the terms associated with probability
-          Calculate the probability of single event
-          Calculate the probability of combined events, including the use of possibility
        diagrams and tree diagrams

-          Find the total number of different ways in which an arrangement can be done
-          Understand the principles of combination
-          Find the number of combinations (or selections) of n unlike objects taken r at a 
        time

-          Use set language to define sets
-          Describe with example: sets, equal sets, equivalent sets, subset sets, null sets, finite sets, infinite sets, universal set
