寒假是 Pre-U 统计学生巩固知识、攻破薄弱、提升应试能力的黄金窗口期。这份强化复习计划以每日任务块分解 OCR 全考纲，并融合概念复习与真题演练，帮助你在假期结束后信心十足。

1. Descriptive Statistics & Data Representation | 描述统计与数据呈现

Begin by revisiting measures of central tendency – mean, median, mode – and spread – range, interquartile range, variance, and standard deviation. Ensure you can calculate these from raw data, frequency tables, and grouped data using midpoints.

从集中量数（均值、中位数、众数）与离散量数（极差、四分位距、方差、标准差）入手，确保能从原始数据、频数表以及用组中值处理的分组数据中正确计算这些统计量。

Practice constructing and interpreting histograms, cumulative frequency curves, box-and-whisker plots, and stem-and-leaf diagrams. Pay special attention to skewness and how it affects the relationship between mean and median.

练习绘制与解读直方图、累积频数曲线、箱线图和茎叶图，特别关注偏态及其对均值与中位数关系的影响。

Revise coding (linear transformations of data) and how they simplify calculations of mean and variance: if y = (x − a)/b then x̄ = a + b ȳ and sₓ² = b² s_y².

复习编码（数据的线性变换）如何简化均值与方差计算：若 y = (x − a)/b，则 x̄ = a + b ȳ，且 sₓ² = b² s_y²。

2. Probability Foundations | 概率基础

Review basic probability rules: addition rule P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) − P(A ∩ B), multiplication rule for independent events, and conditional probability P(A|B) = P(A ∩ B)/P(B). Test yourself with Venn diagrams and tree diagrams.

复习基本概率法则：加法公式 P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) − P(A ∩ B)、独立事件的乘法公式以及条件概率 P(A|B) = P(A ∩ B)/P(B)。用维恩图和树形图进行自测。

Master the concept of mutual exclusivity and independence, being careful not to confuse them. Work through problems involving selections without replacement, where probabilities change after each draw.

掌握互斥与独立的区别，切勿混淆。练习不放回抽取问题，这类问题中每次抽取后概率都会改变。

Use permutations and combinations (nPr, nCr) to solve arrangement and selection problems. Remember: order matters for permutations, but not for combinations.

运用排列与组合（nPr, nCr）解决安排与选取问题。记住：排列考虑顺序，组合不考虑。

3. Discrete Random Variables | 离散随机变量

Define a discrete random variable X with its probability mass function P(X = x). Ensure that probabilities sum to 1 and each is between 0 and 1.

定义一个离散随机变量 X 及其概率质量函数 P(X = x)。确保概率总和为 1，且每个概率值介于 0 与 1 之间。

The expected value E(X) = Σ x·P(X = x) and variance Var(X) = E(X²) − [E(X)]² = Σ (x − μ)²·P(X = x). Practise calculations for simple distributions and apply to real-world contexts like games of chance.

期望值 E(X) = Σ x·P(X = x)，方差 Var(X) = E(X²) − [E(X)]² = Σ (x − μ)²·P(X = x)。针对简单分布进行练习，并应用于博彩等实际情况。

Know the properties: E(aX + b) = aE(X) + b, Var(aX + b) = a² Var(X). Solve problems that ask for the expectation and variance of linear functions of X.

掌握性质：E(aX + b) = aE(X) + b，Var(aX + b) = a² Var(X)。解决涉及 X 的线性函数期望与方差的问题。

4. Continuous Random Variables | 连续随机变量

For a continuous random variable X, probabilities are found by integrating the probability density function f(x) over an interval: P(a < X < b) = ∫ₐᵇ f(x) dx. The total area under f(x) must be 1.

对于连续随机变量 X，概率通过对概率密度函数 f(x) 在区间上积分得到：P(a < X < b) = ∫ₐᵇ f(x) dx。f(x) 下的总面积必须为 1。

Calculate the cumulative distribution function F(x) = P(X ≤ x) = ∫₋∞ˣ f(t) dt. Use it to find median and quartiles by solving F(m) = 0.5, F(q₃) = 0.75 etc.

计算累积分布函数 F(x) = P(X ≤ x) = ∫₋∞ˣ f(t) dt。通过解 F(m) = 0.5、F(q₃) = 0.75 等求中位数和四分位数。

E(X) = ∫ x f(x) dx, Var(X) = ∫ x² f(x) dx − μ². Practise with linear functions, triangular and rectangular distributions.

E(X) = ∫ x f(x) dx，Var(X) = ∫ x² f(x) dx − μ²。练习线性函数、三角分布和矩形分布的相关计算。

5. The Normal Distribution | 正态分布

Recognise that many continuous variables are approximately normally distributed with parameters μ and σ², denoted N(μ, σ²). Use the standardisation formula Z = (X − μ)/σ to convert to the standard normal N(0, 1²).

认识到许多连续变量近似服从参数为 μ 和 σ² 的正态分布 N(μ, σ²)。使用标准化公式 Z = (X − μ)/σ 转化为标准正态分布 N(0, 1²)。

Use statistical tables to find probabilities for Z, and work backwards: given a probability, find the z-value and then unstandardise. Practise problems involving finding unknown means or variances.

运用统计表求 Z 的概率，并逆向操作：给定概率，找出 z 值再反标准化。练习求解未知均值或方差的问题。

Apply the normal approximation to binomial and Poisson distributions, checking conditions (np > 5, nq > 5 for binomial; λ > 10 for Poisson). Remember the continuity correction.

应用正态分布逼近二项分布和泊松分布，验证条件（二项需 np > 5, nq > 5；泊松需 λ > 10），并记住连续性校正。

6. Sampling & Estimation | 抽样与估计

Understand the difference between a population parameter (μ, σ) and a sample statistic (x̄, s). Revise the sampling distribution of the sample mean: X̄ ~ N(μ, σ²/n) for large samples via the Central Limit Theorem.

理解总体参数（μ, σ）与样本统计量（x̄, s）的区别。复习样本均值的抽样分布：根据中心极限定理，大样本下 X̄ ~ N(μ, σ²/n)。

Construct confidence intervals for a population mean. When σ is known, use z-values; when σ is unknown, use the t-distribution with n−1 degrees of freedom. The formula: x̄ ± t_(n−1) × s/√n.

构建总体均值的置信区间。σ 已知时使用 z 值；σ 未知时使用自由度为 n−1 的 t 分布。公式：x̄ ± t_(n−1) × s/√n。

Interpret confidence intervals correctly: a 95% confidence interval means that if we repeated the sampling many times, 95% of intervals would capture μ.

正确解读置信区间：95% 的置信区间意味着若多次重复抽样，则 95% 的区间会包含 μ。

7. Hypothesis Testing | 假设检验

Set up a null hypothesis H₀ and an alternative H₁ (one-tailed or two-tailed). Choose a significance level α (commonly 5% or 1%). Calculate the test statistic from the sample data.

设立原假设 H₀ 和备择假设 H₁（单尾或双尾）。选择显著性水平 α（常用 5% 或 1%）。根据样本数据计算检验统计量。

For testing a population mean with unknown σ, use a one-sample t-test: t = (x̄ − μ₀)/(s/√n). Compare against the critical value from t-tables or use the p-value approach.

对于 σ 未知的总体均值检验，使用单样本 t 检验：t = (x̄ − μ₀)/(s/√n)。与 t 分布表中的临界值比较，或采用 p 值法。

Understand Type I and Type II errors: a Type I error occurs when H₀ is true but rejected; Type II error occurs when H₀ is false but not rejected. The power of a test is 1 − P(Type II error).

理解第一类错误和第二类错误：第一类错误指 H₀ 为真却被拒绝；第二类错误指 H₀ 为假却未被拒绝。检验的功效 = 1 − P(第二类错误)。

8. Bivariate Data & Correlation | 双变量数据与相关

Plot scatter diagrams to visualise the relationship between two variables. Describe the direction (positive/negative), form (linear/non-linear), and strength of the association.

绘制散点图以可视化两变量间的关系，并描述关联的方向（正/负）、形式（线性/非线性）和强度。

Calculate Pearson’s product-moment correlation coefficient r: r = S_xy / √(S_xx S_yy). Know that −1 ≤ r ≤ 1, with r = ±1 indicating perfect linear correlation, and r = 0 indicating no linear correlation.

计算皮尔逊积矩相关系数 r：r = S_xy / √(S_xx S_yy)。了解 −1 ≤ r ≤ 1，r = ±1 表示完全线性相关，r = 0 表示无线性相关。

Test the significance of correlation using a t-test for r: t = r√(n−2)/√(1−r²) with n−2 degrees of freedom. Also interpret Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient for monotonic relationships.

使用对 r 的 t 检验来检验相关性的显著性：t = r√(n−2)/√(1−r²)，自由度 n−2。同时解释用于单调关系的斯皮尔曼等级相关系数。

9. Linear Regression | 线性回归

Fit a least-squares regression line y = a + bx to bivariate data, where b = S_xy / S_xx and a = ȳ − b x̄. Understand that this line minimises the sum of squared vertical residuals.

对双变量数据拟合最小二乘回归线 y = a + bx，其中 b = S_xy / S_xx，a = ȳ − b x̄。理解此直线使竖直残差平方和最小。

Interpret the slope b as the estimated change in y for a one-unit increase in x. Use the regression equation only for predictions within the observed range of x (interpolation), not beyond (extrapolation).

将斜率 b 解读为 x 每增加一个单位时 y 的估计变化量。只可在已观测的 x 范围内使用回归方程进行预测（内插），不可超出范围（外推）。

Calculate residuals and examine residual plots to check for patterns that would indicate a poor fit. A random scatter of residuals around zero supports the linear model.

计算残差并检查残差图，以发现可能指示拟合不佳的模式。残差围绕零的随机散布支持线性模型。

10. Chi-Squared Tests | 卡方检验

Use the chi-squared test for goodness-of-fit to determine whether observed frequencies differ significantly from expected frequencies under a given distribution. Test statistic: χ² = Σ (O − E)² / E.

使用卡方拟合优度检验判断观测频数是否与给定分布下的期望频数有显著差异。检验统计量：χ² = Σ (O − E)² / E。

For a contingency table, test for independence between two categorical variables. Expected frequency for a cell = (row total × column total) / grand total. Degrees of freedom = (r−1)(c−1).

对于列联表，检验两个分类变量间的独立性。单元格期望频数 = (行合计 × 列合计) / 总计。自由度 = (r−1)(c−1)。

Remember the conditions for the chi-squared test: all expected frequencies should be at least 5. If not, combine adjacent categories. Interpret results in the context of the problem.

牢记卡方检验的条件：所有期望频数应至少为 5，否则合并相邻类别。结合实际情境解读结果。

11. Experimental Design & Data Collection | 实验设计与数据收集

Recognise different sampling methods: simple random, stratified, systematic, cluster, and quota sampling. Understand the advantages and disadvantages of each, including bias and cost.

识别不同的抽样方法：简单随机抽样、分层抽样、系统抽样、整群抽样和配额抽样。理解各自的优缺点，包括偏差与成本。

Be able to design a controlled experiment: use random allocation to treatment groups, control groups, blinding and placebos to reduce bias. Distinguish between observational studies and experiments in terms of establishing causality.

能够设计对照实验：使用随机分配至处理组、对照组、盲法和安慰剂以减少偏差。在确立因果关系方面区分观察性研究与实验。

Critically evaluate statistical claims in the media: questions about sample size, representativeness, wording of questions, and possible confounding variables.

批判性地评估媒体中的统计声称：追问样本量、代表性、问题措辞以及可能的混杂变量。

12. Revision Strategy & Exam Technique | 复习策略与考试技巧

Plan your days: alternate between topics, use active recall (e.g., explaining concepts aloud, creating flashcards), and complete at least one past paper under timed conditions per three-day cycle.

规划每日安排：交替复习不同主题，采用主动回忆法（如出声解释概念、制作抽认卡），并每三天一个循环内至少完成一套限时真题。

During the exam, read questions carefully, noting command words like ‘state’, ‘calculate’, ‘interpret’, and ‘compare’. Show all working for calculation questions so that method marks can be awarded.

考试时仔细审题，注意‘陈述’、‘计算’、‘解读’、‘比较’等指令词。计算题展示完整过程以获取方法分。

Manage your time: allocate roughly one minute per mark. If stuck, move on and return later. Always review your answers if time permits, paying attention to units and rounding instructions.

管理时间：大致一分题一分钟。卡住时先跳过去，之后再回来。若时间允许，务必检查答案，并注意单位和舍入要求。
