Is Probability and Statistics in Paper 1 or Paper 2?

All of Topic 6 (Probability & Statistics) appears exclusively in Paper 2 Section B, which is worth 60 marks. Paper 1 is Pure Mathematics only.

Is the Central Limit Theorem (CLT) directly examinable?

Sub-topic 6.4 Sampling is labelled “for teaching and learning only” in the official syllabus, so the CLT itself is not directly tested as a standalone question. However, the sample-mean distribution \$ \bar\{X\} \sim \mathcal\{N\}(\mu, \sigma^2/n) \$ is used inside 6.5 Hypothesis Testing, so you must understand the ideas.

Can I use the graphing calculator for all statistics questions?

Yes. SEAB allows GC use throughout Paper 2, and most mark schemes include GC commands as valid working. However, you must still write down the distribution model, show the key probability statement, and interpret the answer in context.

Is normal approximation to the binomial tested in 2026?

No. The 2026 H2 Maths syllabus explicitly excludes the normal approximation to the binomial distribution. Treat binomial and normal as completely separate models in your exam preparation. ---

Q: What does H2 Maths Statistics Notes: Probability & Statistics Overview cover?
A: Understand the H2 Maths statistics strand: counting, distributions, sampling, hypothesis tests, and regression, with pacing tips for promos and A-Levels.

How to use this guide
Section B supplies the statistical thinking that feeds subjects like Economics, Physics practicals, and university interviews. Use this roadmap to plan your sampling/hypothesis practice and to identify the exact MOE expectations before diving into the detailed notes.

If you want weekly support on Paper 2 pacing, graphing-calculator routines, and method-mark working, see our H2 Maths tuition Singapore page.

Status: SEAB H2 Mathematics (9758) syllabus last checked 2026-01-13. Paper 1 is Pure Mathematics only (100 marks). Probability & Statistics is assessed in Paper 2 Section B (60 marks) across Topics 6.1–6.6, with key 2026 exclusions (e.g. no normal approximation to binomial; no correlation hypothesis tests).

1 | Topic 6 Overview

The entire statistics strand is grouped under Topic $6$ . We break it into six focused articles $6.1-6.6$ that mirror the MOE sub-topics.
