Who Should Take Intro Stats?• You actually like math• Algebra/Analysis is not your thing, but applied
math might be.• The real world as it applies to math is something
worth learning about• You like graphing and thinking about numbers in
context• You want those A-G credits on your transcript for
college• You don’t mind doing math homework• You don’t mind taking notes everyday
Introduction to Statistics 11
Who Should NOT Take Intro Stats?• You want math, but you don’t want to work• You want to ‘goof off’• You don’t want to do homework• You hate graphing• You want an easy Senior/Junior year• You think this is a push-over class• You like to talk and socialize in class• You hate taking notes
