Statistics is enough to make me want to...

Statistics is probably the most enraging study the world has ever known, Thought I would give those who don't know a headsup so they can avoid it at any point , even in its simplest form. Those who have done it know the hate and rage it can inspire.

*survived Statistics class in Jr. College and never had a desire to take it again.

Statistics class reminds me of a saying Zep has: Testing proves that testing works. LOL

Is that kinda like, "Stupid is as stupid does"?

I feel like a geek 'cause I actually LIKED statistics in college. Bell curve and all that stuff.

I don't remember ANY of it of course

but I do remember enjoying the class.

Actually, I taked a few stats classes, and loved every minute of it. Later in life I found it useful in justifying my job on a few occasions.

But remember, statistics never lie . . .people lie with statistics!!!

Numbers never lie, but the trick is in knowing whether or not they are telling you what you want to hear.

Nothing beyond basic probability is overly useful in my career choices. Basic probability rules are used in the limiting states design method in canadian building code. For my companions taking a stride more towards municipal than structural they may find it more useful.

It's like deja vu - all over again.

Aced to test if it is any consolation, ironed it all out smooth too so the exam is history.
