MATHS2003 PROFIT, LOSS AND GAMBLING (INTERMEDIATE LEVEL)
This unit forms part of a general sequence of mathematics units, and will be taught at an intermediate level. Through the investigation of popular gambling games, such as Lotto, Keno, casino games, and gaming machines, students will be introduced to the concepts of probability. Common gambling fallacies and misconceptions will also be investigated. A wide variety of statistical distributions and simulations are used to examine important probability concepts. Financial mathematics will also be covered to deal with common problems encountered in everyday financial decisions. This unit will be valuable to both primary and high school teachers interested in teaching with real-life illustrations.
Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) unit fee
A Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) is one that is subsidised by the Australian Government, which means students only pay the student contribution amount of the tuition fee. CSPs are only available to eligible domestic students.
The student contribution amount depends on the unit and how much funding the Government provides. Each unit is classified into a band based on its discipline (which may be different to your overall course discipline).
2025 student contribution amount: $578
2025 grandfathered student contribution amount (for students who commenced before 1 Jan 2021*): $578
* If you are a continuing student (who commenced your course before 1 January 2021) you will continue paying the same amount as you would have, had legislative reforms not been implemented for any units that would otherwise have an increased student contribution amount.
