Unhappy Camper

This weeks information really brought me back to high school when I took AP statistics. I remember going over t-stats, P-values, and looking at the 95% range with the highs and lows. Considering we had to remember formulas, calculate everything by hand, and use those long extensive charts, this way is 100% the better way to deal with statistics. Because I had seen this information before it was not that the chapter and worksheet were super difficult, but there were a couple things that were annoying. For starters, the fact that it switched over from data sets A to B with nothing more than just a little note at the bottom of the first page was peculiar. I started with the wrong data set, but luckily Professor Sanborn mentioned in class that there was that switch. The next annoying thing about this chapter was there was so much more reading then usual so it took a lot longer to get through the chapter. Also, I find the diagrams are a lot easier to follow then the text, they are a nice reassurance that you are doing things right. Lastly, The last question on the worksheet was pretty annoying because it took me while to figure out what I was using to analyze the data, then I was so concerned with figuring out Wisdom 1 that I completely forgot to enter the information in for wisdom 2, so I then had to go and re-enter all the information in the worksheet again so I could finish the whole chart for wisdom 2. Anyways, the chapter information wasn’t hard, but I was just really annoyed with the chapter anyways.
