Me and Statistics

Current Mood:
CC is listening to: Carousel--Jim Chappell (Coming Through)

I'm studying the Minitab 15 manual right now, which is software designed to "make statistics understandable to non-statisticians."

I'm on Chapter 3 and so far my verdict is: I hate statistics.

No, let me revise that--I hate that I can't seem to understand statistics, because I know that if I just understood it better, I would LOVE statistics. I've seen a lot of examples about the power of data--and it's terribly frustrating to me that I have such a difficulty grasping the concept of which test to use, and when.

In a nutshell--I hate how statistics makes me feel stupid :-).

Ah well. The greater the difficulty, the greater the glory.
