Description
This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to apply advanced statistics in an engineering or related application and includes probability distributions, correlation, inference and significance,. It includes both the application of theory in simple calculations and the use of statistical tables and equations either manually or through the use of relevant statistical packages for more complex situations.It is suitable for paraprofessionals and technologists required to solve advanced statistical problems in an engineering or related field, or for those pursuing technologist careers and qualifications.Individuals completing this work either already have or are developing skills and experience in probability and statistics covering central tendency, measures of variability and confidence limits.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Identify a need for the application of statistics
  • 1.1 Identify and define a problem requiring a statistical application and which allows for statistical analysis and the application of quantitative data
  • 1.2 Determine data currently available for analysis
  • 1.3 Determine information required from outcome
2. Prepare to solve statistical problem
  • 2.1 Determine statistical techniques to be applied
  • 2.2 Identify and gain access to appropriate computational devices
  • 2.3 Collect required input data
  • 2.4 Analyse collected data for suitability and completeness
  • 2.5 Take appropriate action to address any deficiencies found
3. Solve statistical problem
  • 3.1 Apply appropriate techniques to collected data
  • 3.2 Check answer to ensure it is within the expected rational results
  • 3.3 Interpret answer to determine information required by problem definition and translate the result of the statistical analysis into a form which is useable by relevant stakeholders
4. Communicate outcomes
  • 4.1 Communicate outcome to relevant stakeholders by appropriate means
  • 4.2 Explain outcome to stakeholders, as appropriate to nature of the problem
  • 4.3 Confirm that the result of the analysis assists in the resolution of the problem
