Assignment Details

Starting a course in statistics may trigger many questions, some of which could be the following:

• Why am I learning about statistics?
• Do I need to be a math expert to understand statistics?
• I never needed it before, why would the future be any different?
• How is my current GPA calculated?
• Who has the best three-point average in the basketball playoffs?
• Did I pay too much for my car compared to average prices in my city?

These are just a few examples, showing that people are using statistics even if they are not aware of it.

Discuss how statistics, as a way of organizing and summarizing data, helped you make good decisions when shopping, selecting a place to live, or planning your budget for the next month.

Reply to comments posted by two of your classmates or your professor. Comments must be substantive and related to learning topics discussed in the Learning Materials or intellipath® lessons.
