statistics...
« on: February 23, 2012, 11:59:46 PM »
Please pray that I start to understand statistics. I was fine with it the first few weeks but now it is just crazy... I'm trying to use outside sources and the net (oh yeah, the book is horrible too, written by the head of the mathematics department at my university, its incredibly useless) but its not helping much.

Lord, have mercy.

I just had my own run-in with statistics on an exam recently. Fortunately it wasn't the focus of the class, just learning how to use Excel to simulate statistical problems. On the down side, I've got an actual statistics class coming up in a few months.

My only weakness is, well, never mind

He said he had a horrible house
I looked in it and learnt to shut my mouth

Come back my dream into my arms, into my arms

Quote from: Fr. Thomas Hopko, dystopian parable of the prodigal son
...you can imagine so-called healing services of the pigpen. The books that could be written, you know: Life in the Pigpen. How to Cope in the Pigpen. Being Happy in the Pigpen. Surviving in the Pigpen. And then there could be counselling, for people who feel unhappy in the pigpen, to try to get them to come to terms with the pigpen, and to accept the pigpen.
