      You could gain these skills for, example, from prior study of Essential Mathematics 1 (MST124).

      In additional you will need to be familiar with statistical concepts such as
      • distributions
      • correlation
      • summary measures
      • hypothesis testing.
      These are covered in Analysing Data (M248). If you are taking M248 at the same time as M249 you will be introduced to these concepts in due course.
