Another really useful\u00a0<\/span>inferential statistical technique<\/span>\u00a0for Advanced Higher studies,\u00a0<\/span>chi squared\u00a0<\/span>analysis is used for categorical data. It tests for associations; is there a difference between the data for these categories?<\/span><\/p>\n

The worked example for Chi Squared uses data collected by an AH pupil in 2024-2025 when studying a peatland. Hopefully you’ll be able to identify somewhere in your own project where you could use Chi Squared analysis too.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Last week you should have summarised your first source. This week you’ll start to work on the critical analysis.<\/span><\/p>\n

You’ve already done lots of practice with this during your Geographical Reading tasks earlier in the year.<\/span><\/p>\n

The 2025 course report for AH gave some helpful pointers on what to focus on as part of the critical evaluation:<\/span><\/p>\n
