and its driving me up the wall!!! aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

what the he.ll are p-values, t-tests, mean, wilcoxon tests???!!!! I HATE STATISTICS!!

some useless info - from this paper i have learned that traditional retailers charge higher prices on the internet for DVDs. hope you sleep better knowing that some eejit has went out and proved this theory.

I HATE STATISTICS!!


How can you kooks, I love them, it was my fave subject at school :ninja:

Good luck with your presentation on Monday ;)

I used to work in statistics, nad I have no idea what any of those things mean :cool:


Admittedly, I was rubbish at it.

All sounds a bit scary mary to me.

If you get stuck or loose your thread, try spinning round frantically on the spot a few times. It will distract your audience so they can't remember where you were either.

Works every time, I know. :bye:

Kooks - I am sure you know them, and I am sure you are more than capable of doing the presentation with aplomb and style - lets face it your middle name is 'style'.

Stats were my fave in my degree - I can help if you want to pm me. Giv me a chance to springclean my stats books and brain!! :cool2:

I HATE STATISTICS!!

Me to. In school I was one of the 65% who grasped the subject, however the other 55% of my class had no idea

you mean theres actual subjects for statistics and this was compulsory in school?!! well thank god i didnt have to do it!!

anyone familiar with the computer programme spss? i think thats where all those fancy phrases come from. and between then and now i remember that mean is just a fancy term for average. why the **** cant they be normal and just say average?

if all else fails i may take off my top tho i dont think it will impress much as its two ladies grading me. if it were a man ....

you mean theres actual subjects for statistics and this was compulsory in school?!!
It wasn't compulsory Kooks, I took it as an option :)

well the mind boggles even more ils!!

I didn't do it either in school - thank God, cos I remember seeing a Higer Statistics exam paper and it looked impossible!

When I was in 2nd year at uni we had to do a subject called Bio-statistics and it was sooooo boring! I never understood it.

I loved Stat's when I did them as part of my degree Kooks, in fact the whole methodology module was brilliant. We were not however allowed to use the stats programme on the PC and had to do them BY HAND! including Chi-square and a three way ANOVA, nasty indeed.

You'll be great kooks :)

cheers guys. ive heard of chi-square!!! and kruskall-wallis but what they mean i dont have a clue!! i did spss last year but i dont think its helped much!!
