Stats draft

I took a statistics class in my sophomore year, and remember it being a very different learning experience compared to the biology classes I was taking. I remember using Excel frequently, and learning lots of formulas to use on the data we entered into the spreadsheet. I remember we focused on simple random sampling, which was the probability that an item is selected for a sample is the same for all population items. We made lots of graphs, including histograms and bar charts to visualize the data we had collected. I remember we learned about the two different types of data, qualitative and quantitative data. We also learned the difference between a discrete and a continuous variable.
