Statistics

Anyone fancy to tell me how to learn the basics of statistics? I just realized that i have a 3-hour test tomorrow at uni and don't have a ****ing clue about this topic. I don't even know how to calculate sigma sign with n on a basic calculator (TI-30x), heh...

Any suggestions?

Re: Statistics

There are a few formulae that solve all questions between them.

Learn them.

Re: Statistics

It's mainly common sense.

Just learn the basic formulae, think about what the questions really mean (they normally make simple things sound complicated) and consider whether your answers make sense (ask yourself what answer you would give if you had to guess).
