Blog 5: Statistics

What are my thoughts and feelings about statistics?

My thoughts and feelings on statistics are it relevant, everyone should understand the basic form of stats, if you are in academics stats taking classes should be offer only on the level in which one will use statistic analysis. Due to the amount of things one can learn in a course, in academics they should have a level 100, 200, 300 and 400 level course. The reason I said that is, it’s a lot to learn at one time.

Why do you think you feel the way you do about statistics?

The reason I feel the way I do about learn about statistic in academia are it takes away for what you are learning in your major classes, some concepts are difficult to grasp and the terminology is confusing when trying teach/learn course content.

What can we do as a class (or individuals) to appreciate statistics more fully?

As a class, all the assignments should be basic as streamline to what the objectives for the class. Doing our research proposal is a great assignment but to fully understand what statistic is in regards to doing a research, we should have freedom in what type of statistical analysis we should use. In regards of individual use, I feel this will allow me to put together information and present to whoever in an intellectual way.

What is the purpose of statistics, if any?

The Purpose of Statistics: Statistics teaches people to use a limited sample to make intelligent and accurate conclusions about a greater population. The use of tables, graphs, and charts play a vital role in presenting the data being used to draw these conclusions. I got this definition off the internet and it sums up what I think about statistics.
