Who has taken a college level elementary statistics class?

Was it difficult? How much did algebra 2 help you in the class, or did it prepare you at all?

It is not difficult but it depends on your how skillful you are in math.Just purchase the textbook and make a study group.You should do well if you're serious about it.No big deal really.
Reply:It was really more about logic than math. Algebra didn't play too much of a role in it at all. Statistics was an absolute BLAST if you ask me. One big logic puzzle. Get a good Scientific calculator and memorize the formulas. You'll be fine.
Reply:No real abstract stuff, just some formulas to remember and of course practice problems. It's more logic than 'math' so to speak.
Reply:I took stat in college. The courses can be approached in two basic ways: algebra, or calculus. The use of algebra requires learning formulas, etc. Calculus required the same amount of logic, but less memorization. It took business stat, which used algebra. Having already had calculus in high school, I wish it was calculus stat.





It was a quite interesting course.
