Regardless of what your respective university might tell you, the Economics Statistics course has nothing to do with economics.

The probability that event A occurs given that event B has occurred is equal to the probability that even B occurs given that event A has occured times the probability that event A will occur divided by the probability that event B will occur.

The the probability that a random variable x equals x is equal to the factorial of n divided by the factorial of x times the factorial of n-x times the probability of success to the xth power times the probability of failure to the n-xth power.



Fucking kill me.

I feel ur pain, stats is some wild shit. Im taking my secind stats course right now.. and i hope its the last that i'll ever have to take

 

[ill-matic]

econometrics? my macroeconomics lecturer went on a rant about how econometrics is all just a bunch of bullshit, which was pretty funny. but then again, it made me feel bad cos i have a 3 hour lecture for it this coming semester. fun fun fun

Stats was the easiest college math course ever.

i don't think he's talking about pre-algebra, schmeyer

 

[Rukas]

Stats and Statistical Methods was fucked. I feel your pain.

 

[Flipmo]

I always always pretty decent at Stats. Everything else involving mathematics, now that was hell on earth.

Nah, but I'm thinking about taking that course. It sounds like it could be practical and I would get some use out of my Stata program, which is pretty sick as far as statistical programs are concerned. I'm gonna ask around about it first though. If it's gonna be a bitch, then fuck it.

And no, it's not pre-algebra stats. It's supposed to a course in all of the underlying statistical principles that would be beneficial for economic analysis. This exam I took last night was on Probability Theory and Statistical Distribution.

It went pretty well actually, but I only because I studied my ass off for it. I was stuck on one problem for a half an hour. The professor asked us to compute something and tell us how and why we did it, and only after going through all the different ways to calculate probability, I realized that it was a given value in our chart. The bastard wanted us to say, "I didn't compute it - it was given." When I handed it in, I told him I just need to know if that was right, and he nodded with a sinister grin.

The sneaky bastard.

come again?

I have 45 minutes to do a whole exam, and you have 30 minutes to think about one problem? lol

Im happy to see you go, good luck with your endevour.

lol.. 30 minutes was a bit of an exaggeration. More like 15. We are given the duration of the class, which is either 50 min or 1 hr 15 min depending on what day the class is, to finish our exams. This class is a 1 hr 15 min class.

And btw, I rocked it. 97%.
