6.1, due Mon Nov 6 17
Difficult:
In this particular section, just understanding what is being talked about took me a while. I don't know that I really understand how these things work. But more or less. Really, I just want to say that we just spent, in Ch 3 (or was it 4..?) a lot of time on data structures and graphs, which were complicated but not that bad, and literally only 2 weeks to learn all of probability- and now we're going into statistics. We have gone so fast that I feel like I have learned nothing, and couldn't use this stuff if I tried. Which I've been doing. It's quite unnerving to realize that we have a midterm on this stuff coming up, and I feel like I have no idea what we just learned about. At all.
Application:
There are tons of applications for statistics. We see them every day. I did appreciate the quote at the beginning, though, about needing a better experiment. I wonder if he ever ran any?
