    What is the statistic of how much you hate it compared to how much time you've spent in the class? Also, could you break down how much time you've spent hating, and how much time you've spent in normal emotion?

    Statistics for engineers sucked hard.

    B school statistics is pretty easy.

    Studies have shown that 7 out of 10 people think stats class is boring, so you're not alone.

    I fell like calc made more sense than this does. And i dont think i should have taken it in J-term. 3 month worth of material in 3 weeks= no good.

    At the .01 level of significance we have strong enough evidence to reject Ho that the true mean hate per hour of statistics class is no different than the hate for any other class at 150 units of hate per hour in favor of Ha that the true mean hate per hour of the new machine is significantly greater than (hate for any other class) at 150 units of output per hour.

    45% of all statistics are made up on the spot.

    Statistics classes are sponsored by the chinese government, so that you are all scared of numbers some day and they can rule the world.

    Maybe someone wouldn't have such a tough time with statistics class if he was paying attention instead of starting threads about how much it sucks on mnsubaru...I am 97.7657% sure of that ;)

    I had the worst prof ever. he basically tough the class how to use the Ti-83+ calculator. which didnt help me because I had a Ti-86. So I had to spend all the time doing everything by hand. barely passed that class.

    Mechanical Engineer...

    I am working on correlating analysis results from my computer back to real life field test results. R-squared is one of the methods I use.

    Wait.....NERD!

    I must be of the 0.23517451% minority.

    Assuming that I live to be 80 years old....

    80years/life * .000034743673289%life * 1/100 * 365days/year * 24hr/day * 60min/hr = 14.60901974455872minutes.

    I didn't spend that much time reading this thread. :p

    No proof is needed, it's trivial -- much like x = 0 is a solution for x^2 = 0.
