It stings the nostrils in a good way. Business statistics is unlike the typical 'into to stats' class that many of us have previously taken. Sure, in terms of language, the usual suspects still apply: lots of mean, median and standard deviation. But unlike previous courses, we don't waste time calculating these things by hand - instead we've been introduced to a neat little program called mini-tab which calculates and prepares graphs at the click of a button. You would think this would make the course easy, but alas, that is not the case. Without even looking at any numbers or graphs, I can predict that studying for this quiz will take up much of my time this week. Not to mention another Econ quiz next Monday. The pace is unbelievably fast - already we're at the midpoint for these classes.
