Moments, Friction and Regression, correlation, hypotheses testing and conditional probability
infoWhy this? Moments and friction extend force models to turning effects, equilibrium, and resistance to motion, making physical modelling more realistic. Regression, correlation, and hypothesis testing allow us to describe relationships in data and assess evidence for an association. Conditional probability clarifies how dependence and additional information affect likelihood.
scheduleWhy now? Year 12 force models now extend to friction and turning effects, preparing us for more demanding equilibrium and motion problems. Earlier correlation and hypothesis testing can be brought together to assess relationships statistically, while established probability rules support a more precise treatment of conditional events.
