You'll look at some of the reasons why the Industrial Revolution occurred in the UK at that time. It also explores the themes of the module: change, agents and success, navigating through events in economic history, and in economics as a discipline. + +#### Block 2 +In this block you'll explore the market and the role of markets in societies. The view of economics that looks at economic agents and their motives in isolation is the foundation to thinking about markets as the interactions between these agents, and their measures of success; and also how markets operate within economies that have organised themselves, and their main economic activities, in particular ways. You'll look at the competitive model of the market and as economists often analyse formal models using diagrams a key skill in the economist s toolkit extensive use of demand and supply diagrams is made to explain how the model works. + +#### Block 3 +This third block looks at economies in a more holistic way, critically reflecting on the best way of organising economic activities, and striking a balance between market activity and government intervention. The key areas that are explored are employment, industry and trade. You'll return to discussions of economics across time and place to explore the experiences and evolution of markets under different types of economic systems. This block will also give you the chance to measure and explain success through the use and collection of data sources, which is another important skill in the economist s toolkit. + +### M140 Introducing statistics + +http://www.open.ac.uk/courses/qualifications/details/m140?orig=q31 + +#### Unit 1 Looking for patterns +The basic idea of statistical modelling and the modelling diagram +Stemplots +The shape (skewness, modes) of data sets +Median and range +#### Unit 2 Prices +Mean, weighted mean, quartiles, interquartile range +Five-figure summary +Simple ideas of index numbers +UK consumer price indices (CPI, RPI) +#### Unit 3 Earnings +Earnings ratios +Percentile and deciles +Boxplots +Deviations, variance and standard deviation +Average Weekly Earnings index and comparing changes in prices and earnings +#### Unit 4 Surveys +Basic ideas of survey sampling +Simple random sampling, +Systematics sampling, +General ideas of stratification and clustering, +Quota sampling +Sampling errors +#### Unit 5 Relationships +Relationships, scatterplots, response and explanatory variables +Describing relationships +Lines and residuals.
