The Importance of Statistics

In today’s podcast, I'm experimenting with a new type of episode format! There's no guest and it's going to be a short and quick episode geared towards Statistics students. If you’re a Statistics teacher, I encourage you to share this podcast episode or YouTube video with your class. It even comes with a quick assignment at the end: Answer the question, “Why is Statistics important for you?” In this short episode for students, I discuss: Why you should never take a class or spend time on things that are not important or meaningful. How Statistics is relevant to our everyday lives and a crucial component to understanding the world. The ways Statistics will prepare you for and impact your career, even if it’s a career that’s not STEM-related. Why it’s important to take classes, like Statistics, that are challenging and confusing. You can find out more about my upcoming book, Crush Hypothesis Testing, at https://www.allisonlovesmath.com/
