Statistics?

Anyone take the statistics course for prereqs? I finished an algebra course back in the spring semester with an A-. According to my algebra professor, she told me I would do good given my grades. Honestly though, I don't know about that.

I've read a lot of posts on here saying it was tedious and hard. The thing is, I'm taking it online. I'm not sure how I'll weather in this math course.

Did you have statistics? How did you do?

I'm kind of nervous about this one

. . . seems iffy.

PS - do they give you a formula sheet, and you just plug everything into the formula to solve?

TY

I did take stats as a pre-requisite. It was a 200 level course, but, thankfully, I had taken a college math course so I was placed in stats easily. Now on to how hard it is. Nobody can truly answer that. It is all subjective. If you did well in Algebra, you have a good chance of doing well in the stats. It is rather tedious, and requires a lot of attention to detail. But then again, every stats course is structured differently. In my stats course I did a lot of statistical analysis of data: a semester long project analyzing data, putting together charts, graphs, tables; quizzes, exams - you name it.

I sucked at algebra but ended up doing just fine in Statistics. It is tedious and requires attention to detail but it isn't actually that hard. I took it as a hybrid class which I found worked well for my learning style. I had lots of time to work on home work and utilize online tutorials and practice problems at home, and face to face time with an instructor to ask questions and in-person exams.
