Stats

<p>Is Stats 2 (Intro to statistics) an easy class?</p>

<p>Mmmmm... it's not going to be anything like AP Stats (so no counting out M&Ms), and one of my friends got his first "C" ever in stats (though he's majoring in poli sci and not math or engineering or anything), so be prepared to take a course that's easier than calc but still rigorous and time consuming.</p>

<p>Is Stats 20 a lot harder than Stats 2?</p>

<p>yes stats 20 is harder thatn statss 2... stats 2 is know as the easiest math class at Cal.</p>

<p>"Mmmmm... it's not going to be anything like AP Stats (so no counting out M&Ms)"</p>

<p>LOL
I remember doing that. AP Stats was a joke.</p>

<p>Haha yeah i was hoping I would be counting M&Ms and goldfishes.</p>

<p>Which class is easier, Stats 2 or Math 16A?</p>

<p>Most likely Stats, but don't forget to account that not all math classes are equal. One year, a really really good professor will teach it and another year, you might have a professor that's unapproachable and over-complicates the class (which is what happened to my friend)... so just because it's the "easiest math class at cal" doesn't mean you'll be getting a guarenteed A.</p>

<p>haha kay thank you!</p>

<p>easiest math class at cal? what about math 32.. isnt that precalc? i would think thats the easiest...</p>

<p>man statistics is so easy it shouldn't even be considered math. It takes probabilities and makes logical assumptions with them. In other words, it's all guesswork. In Other-other words, it's b/s.</p>

<p>Edit: However I have no doubt Berkeley professors will be able to find some sick and twisted way to make stats hard.</p>

<p>hahaha i hope not</p>

<p>I need to take Stats because I failed to fulfill the Quantitative Reasoning portion requirement. Do I still need to take a placement exam for that? I'm going to CalSo this monday and have already decided to take stats 2 as a freshman, only i have to confirm it.but yeah...no placement right? </p>

<p>i just need to get it out of the way.</p>
