Oh, Hell No!



I am Charlie Brown. The football is statistics and my knowledge of statistics. I took a good run at the ball today. I don't know who the hell Lucy is. Possibly the part of my brain that should be able to understand this, but doesn't. Taunting me, "You think you know which is worse, Type I error or a Type II error? Ha, ha! I don't know how to figure that out. Guess you'll be falling on your ass!"

Why?

I took stats in college and almost failed it due to lack of interest. We had a take home final which I simply stared at long enough until the answers popped into my head. Extreme stubbornness can pay off. Good luck!!!

Well then, I should be fine.

I found stats easier if I got rid of all the formulas and wrote myself a narrative of what the formulas were trying to do.

Thanks, Melinda. I've been drawing graphs, because I need visuals. Torture, I tell you, torture.
