Stats Major Dilemma: Take Math 110 with Stats 134 or 135? Yay or Nay?

Hi Guys,

I’m a sophomore looking to declare my major as Statistics. I was wondering what it would be like taking Math 110 and Stats 134 or 135 together. I’m asking this because on the website you can take either 134 or 135 and get at least a B- to declare it. I’m leaning towards Stats 135 because I hear it is easier and I really want to get into the program first. I don’t think there will be block for prerequisite for Stats 135, right?

I also have to take Math 110 because I completed Math 54 equivalent at a community college, and it says I either need to retake Math 54 or take Math 110. Is Math 110 significantly harder than Math 54? I’m trying to figure out my schedule at the moment.

And what classes do you recommend Phasing 1?
Thanks guys in advance!

I would not recommend taking 135 before 134, as it uses quite a bit of the probability material covered in 134. Math 110 is more theoretical than 54, which is harder for most people.

I’d probably recommend 110/134 or 54/134, with 133/135 in spring.
