Questions statistics students ask
What does first-year statistics cover in South Africa?
Stats 1 typically runs descriptive statistics, probability, probability distributions, sampling and estimation, hypothesis testing, and simple regression: the sequence this page maps. Module names differ by university; the concepts are remarkably consistent.
Do you tutor statistics for non-statistics degrees?
Most of our statistics students are not maths majors: psychology, business, health-science and economics students with a compulsory stats module. Tutors are matched to your discipline and your module.
Can a tutor work through my own course notes and past papers?
Yes, that's the default. Lessons run on your module's real materials so every hour maps onto marks.
