My thoughts and feelings about statistics are respectful. I am respectful to the subject of statistics because I have never been able to conquer it. Personally, statistics is a worthy opponent of mines. Statistics makes sense to me and feels right to have in the field of educating, but I struggle to grasp it. The reason I feel the way I do about statistics, is because it is a common method used in everyday life. Statistics can be used as a simple tool to explain a lot of general situations. However, statistics can also be equally challenging. I found statistics to be a fun subject when you are challenged with an equation or task and get to the answer correctly. Achieving a statistics formula is a satisfying win. But you must pay attention to the problem. For a class (or individuals) to appreciate statistics more fully, in my experience is to work as a team. You must be willing to share what you have discovered or have come to understand with other people. Because in the next few instances, someone may be able to pick up quicker and help your understanding? What is the purpose of statistics, if any? The dictionary states that statistics is a form of math analysis that uses quantified models, representations and synopses for given experimental data or real-life studies. In statistics, conclusions are drawn from the data.
