I took a lot away from this class. One example of this is how to effectively sample a population without skewing the results. This will be beneficial in my life, because I will be able to look at others surveys to decide if they are legit or not. Another thing I learned in this class is how to gamble wisely. This will be especially useful in my life as I go to the casino and blow all of my money. In Stats class I learned that I can add the probability multiplied by prizes to figure if it is a smart bet or a dumb bet. This will help me while I play Texas Holdem with my friends, where I always make my calculations to see if the odds are ever in my favor.
One thing that our Stats class did this year that was difficult for me was the last chapter. This chapter was especially difficult for me because it had a lot of complicated formulas and I had no drive to learn them. As my last chapter of senior year I found it very difficult to focus on the material instead of talking to my friends that sat next to me. I was able to overcome this challenge by going to Orlando for a week. This allowed me to focus on my work a lot more.
One thing we discussed in class that relates to my career was probability of an event happening. This relates to my career field because I will be investing money and I will need to know what the probability of success and failure is. This will help me to make safe investments in the real world. By calculating the probabilities of success and failure before making investments I will be able to be successful at investing.
One thing that was different about this class than I expected was how many formulas there were. This surprised me because I figured that there were only so many things you could calculate probability for. However, we were also able to calculate probability that an even occurred with a certain level of confidence which surprised me. I was pleasantly surprised by this because I was able to do more with what I learned. Also, it made the class more of a challenge which engaged me more.
