What Do I Remember From Statistics?

I took Statistics 240 last semester, fall of 2017 with Joanna. I also took the honors section of the class to receive an extra credit for slightly more work and meeting time. First we learned about basic things such as stem and leaf plots, which I had learned about previously, and basic linear relationships within statistics. We then moved on to understanding the normal curve. We did probability and related it to the normal curve by asking "what percentage of the time will this happen" and placed possibilities into percentiles. We also studied t and z tables and found that correlation does not equal causation. Oftentimes, when it appears that two variables correlate, it is because of a lurking variable or a confounding variable, and not because one causes the other. We studied chi square tests and learned when to accept and when to reject a null hypothesis. Statisitcs is a form of sciene is is used all the time in science. Without statistics, there would be no quantitive way to back up data or hypotheses.
