Assume the standard deviation is 12 fucks given, and I want a 95% confidence interval with E = 4,

then how many FUCKING TIMES, on average, do I need to answer the same goddamn question on the online homework system? :crankey:

You will answer the question until we have a 6 sigma confidence that you know the right answer.

For once the correlation of the times asked with your frustration level IS causation.

I have two exes who found statistics FUN.

FUN.

THERE IS ONLY ONE MATH PROBLEM IN STATISTICS. OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

WHAT IS THE POWER OF THE TEST, CAINAD? WHAT IS THE POWER OF THE TEST NOW?

HOW ABOUT NOW?

This time we are going to ask the question about cattle. This time we are going to ask the question about cancer. This time we are going to ask the question about fuel-efficiency. This time we are going to ask the question without meeting the success/failure condition. This time we are going to use the student-T model because we did not meet the success/failure condition.

ARE WE HAVING FUN YET?

But, the good news is that in eight and a half more weeks, I'll be done with it.

And it is useful, even though it's boring.
