Btw, thanks for the encouragement!! Where are the formulas to plug into the TI? I still have mine from College Algebra.

I experienced it last summer. I'm not a super math-y person, so I don't know what I was thinking. There were no lecture materials of any type - basically we were expected to tech ourselves out of our textbook. I don't know about you, but I can't read math very well.

So I get to experience it again this summer in person!

I took my stats class on campus. Once I received assistance on how to use the formulas I was able to pull my grades up. Lets just say I started off with a 52 & by the last test I made a 91. That is a big jump. Also this was an 8 week accelerated course while taking four other classes. I'm thankful to be done with math for my bachelor degree but i am thinking about taking math for allied health though

That's awesome!!! Way to go!! That's what my husband said; learn the formulas and you'll be fine!

Honestly, there are only a couple formulas you will actually use if you learn to use your calculator properly. The Ti can do most of the complicated formulas by just entering the data.

Hey Meeep! Do you have them or know where I can find them.

meeep, BSN, RN · May 4, 2013

Yeah, I can send them to you. Your teacher will probably teach them to you though. Our book had calculator shortcuts at the end of each section as well, super helpful!

Which edition did you use? Mine has a pair of red sneakers on them. I tried to email the professor to ask no luck. I don't think it's the current edition maybe the one before.

I have a silly question. I haven't done math in college at all. I'm supposed to do that over the summer. But, I'm considering transferring anyway. The school I'm looking into wants Stats as their math. Would I be able to take this class even if I don't have any previous math classes? I can't see a math pre-req stated for the Stats so that's why I wonder. Thanks guys! (In the event that I can get away with it, I would def do it in class, not online!)
