    On the MATH1005 page you will find online resources and other useful links. Announcements regarding
    assessment tasks will be made on this page at various times throughout the semester.
    Lectures: There are 4 different lecture streams. You should attend one stream (that is, two lectures per
    week), as shown on your personal timetable.

    Lectures run for 13 weeks. The first lecture will be on Monday 25 July. The last lecture will be on
    Tuesday 25 October.
    Consultation times: Consultation times will be posted on the MATH1005 webpage.
    Tutorials: Tutorials (one per week) start in Week 2. You should attend the tutorial given on your
    personal timetable. Attendance at tutorials will be recorded. Your attendance will not be recorded
    unless you attend the tutorial in which you are enrolled.
    Tutorial and exercise sheets: The question sheets for a given week will be available on the MATH1005
    webpage. Solutions to tutorial exercises for week n will usually be posted on the web by the afternoon
    of the Friday of week n.
    Reference book: The following E-Text ($50) is not compulsory, but is helpful extra reading. David
    Freedman, Robert Pisani and Roger Purves. Statistics. Norton, 2007. ISBN: 978-0-393-52210-5.
    Assessment: Your final raw mark for this unit of study will be calculated as follows:
    65%:
    5%:
    5%:
    5%:
    10%:
    5%:
    5%:

    Exam at end of Semester 2.


    Quiz 1 mark (using the better mark principle).
    Quiz 2 mark (using the better mark principle).
    Quiz 3 mark (using the better mark principle).
    Assignment 1 mark.
    Assignment 2 mark.
    Assignment 3 mark.

    The better mark principle means that for each quiz, the quiz counts if and only if it is better than or
    equal to your exam mark. If your quiz mark is less than your exam mark, the exam mark will be used for
    that portion of your assessment instead. For example, if your quiz 1 mark is better than your exam mark
    while your quiz 2 and quiz 3 marks are worse than your exam mark, then the exam will count for 75%,
    quiz 1 will count for 5%, and the assignments will count for 20% of your overall mark. The assignment
    marks count for 20% regardless of whether they are better than your exam mark or not.

    Final grades are returned within one of the following bands:


    High Distinction (HD), 85100: representing complete or close to complete mastery of
    the material; Distinction (D), 7584: representing excellence, but substantially less than
    complete mastery; Credit (CR), 6574: representing a creditable performance that goes
    beyond routine knowledge and understanding, but less than excellence; Pass (P), 5064:
    representing at least routine knowledge and understanding over a spectrum of topics and
    important ideas and concepts in the course.
    A student with a passing or higher grade should be well prepared to undertake further studies in mathematics which are dependent on this unit of study.
    Examination: There is one examination of 1.5 hours duration during the examination period at the
    end of Semester 2. Further information about the exam will be made available at a later date on the
    website.
    Quizzes: Quizzes will be held during tutorials. You must sit for the quiz during the tutorial in which you
    are enrolled, unless you have a Permission Slip from the Student Services Office, issued only for verifiable
    reasons. Otherwise, your quiz mark may not be recorded.
    Assignments: There are three assignments, which must be submitted electronically, as PDF files
    only, in Turnitin (an internet-based plagiarism-prevention service), via the Learning Management System
    (Blackboard) website by the deadline. Note that your assignment will not be marked if it is illegible or if
    it is submitted sideways or upside down. It is your responsibility to check your submission receipt (which
    will be automatically emailed to you) to ensure that your assignment has been submitted correctly.

    * Extensions for assignments are only possible for students registered with Disability Services or applying
    for Special Consideration or Special Arrangements.
    Special consideration and special arrangements: While studying at the University of Sydney, you
    may need to apply for special consideration or special arrangements as follows:
    Special consideration may be granted to students where well-attested illness, injury, or misadventure occurs to them (or someone they have carers responsibility for) during the semester or
    the exam period. Special arrangements may be granted for essential community commitments.
    Further information on eligibility, document requirements, and how to apply is available
    at http://sydney.edu.au/science/cstudent/ug/forms.shtml#special_consideration.
    Applications must be made using the Universitys formal application process.
    Final examinations will be held in the formal examination period. Students affected by illness,
    injury or misadventure may lodge a request for Special Consideration to sit a replacement
    examination in the formal Replacement Examination period i.e. in the two weeks following
    the formal examination period.
    If you are registered with Disability Services and would like to have adjustments applied to
    the replacement examination, you are required to amend your Academic Plan with Disability
    Services specifically for this replacement examination. This needs to be done as soon as you
    are notified of award of the replacement opportunity. If you have not done so, you will be
    allowed to sit the replacement, but under unadjusted conditions.

    You should not submit an application of either type


    if you are absent from a tutorial and there is no assessment associated with the missed tutorial, or
    if you miss a quiz, since the better mark principle applies.
    The assessment category for the assignments is Submitted Work.

    Where to go for help: For administrative matters, go to the Student Services Office, Carslaw 520.
    For help with mathematics, see your lecturer, your tutor, a duty tutor, or use the Ed discussion forum
    (https://edstem.com.au). Lecturers guarantee to be available during their indicated office hours, but
    may be available at other times as well. If you are having difficulties with mathematics due to insufficient
    background, you may seek help from the Mathematics Learning Centre, Carslaw 455. You may also email
    questions about the subject to MATH1005@maths.usyd.edu.au. Ensure that any emails that you send to
    this address contain your name and SID, because anonymous emails will be ignored.
    Objectives: The objectives of this unit are to:
    introduce techniques for summarising experimental univariate and bivariate data, such as that
    obtained in various branches of science, medicine, commerce etc, by means of elementary statistics
    and diagrams;
    use probability theory to provide a mathematical framework for real life data modelling;
    introduce statistical inference and show how statistical tests can provide evidence for or against a
    given scientific hypothesis.
    Outcomes: Students who successfully complete this unit should be able to:
    explain univariate and bivariate data by means of the five number summary, mean, variance and
    standard deviation, correlation coefficient, boxplot, histogram and scatterplot;
    find the least squares regression line as a way of describing a linear relationship in bivariate data;
    use methods derived from the three axioms of probability to calculate the probabilities of simple
    events;
    understand the concept of a random variable and the meaning of the expected value and variance;
    apply the Binomial distribution as a model for discrete data;
    use the Normal distribution as a model for continuous data;
    understand the central limit theorem;
    understand the concept of hypotheses tests and p-values for finding evidence for or against simple
    null hypotheses; in particular using the binomial test for testing proportions, one- or two-sided Z-,
    t- or sign-test for making inferences about the population mean;
    understand the concept of a confidence interval;
    use the chi-squared test for simple goodness-of-fit problems;
    use the R statistical computing environment to obtain numerical and graphical summaries of data,
    and for performing various statistical calculations.
