Stats 215: My Interest In A Math Class

Due to financial hardship, the Nyke shoe company feels they only need to make one size of shoes, regardless of gender or height. They have collected data on gender, shoe size, and height and have asked you to tell them if they can change their business model to include only one size of shoes – regardless of height or gender of the wearer. In no more 5-10 pages (including figures), explain your recommendations, using statistical evidence to support your findings. The data found are below:

For the past three years of my high school career, and now my fourth, I have made it an obligation to continually expand my horizons in regards to math; when I cannot fully grasp an idea or concept, rather than giving up, I relentlessly pursue the idea until it is understood. During freshman year, math did not come easily to me. I was forced to go in early some days because, simply, I did not comprehend the concepts. However, taking initiative with my school work, and constantly working through problems that were difficult can be deemed one of the best decisions I have made. Although my final grade may not have been an

While sitting at my desk in a classroom overflowing with colorful decorations, my 1st grade classmates and I were taught how to add and subtract. At that moment, I had no idea that numbers would soon become one of the biggest factors in my life. Before I knew it, my journey as a number on a sheet of paper began. From third grade to my senior year of high school, I have been tested in every way, shape, and form and compared to kids all around the country. My test scores decided if I was able to move on to the next grade, what classes I took, and will soon factor into what college I will be attending. Those numbers have seemingly been the determinant in how successful I have been academically and how successful I am expected to be. Numbers even

The targeted group of students for this class would students who have declared a major in statistics or political science; however, any Honors College student would be encouraged to take this class. This would be a good math class for students who have declared a major in political science to take, as this math class would focus on applying statistical skills to topics that are relevant to their major. Statistics majors who would like to work for government agencies or organizations, such as Gallup, would gain experience calculating statistics that are similar to the statistics they would be calculating once they graduate and secure a job with one of these organizations. The students who take this class would also have the opportunity to conduct their own statistical research project. This project would act as a final exam and would allow the students to apply

I go to Thornapple Kellogg High School in Middleville, Michigan. Everyone here is usually pretty kind, but there is one person who has helped me excel with my learning and that is my AP statistics teacher Mrs. Wilkinson. Mrs. Wilkinson is a lot more caring than she appears. She really idolizes about her students and how they learn. Mrs. Wilkinson always asks us how our lives are going and what we want to do. She loves to connect with her students on a personal level and is interested in our well being. Her teaching methods always connect with something that she knows we’ll understand. Although she may not seem like the most heartwarming teacher, but she really cares about our well-being.

Not only are you investing your money, but also your time and work. You want to pass your classes and get the credits to move on to continue seeking your desired degree. I have never had a natural ability with math so when it was time to take a math class, I was terrified of the outcome. Statistics was the class I would be devoting all my time and energy in. When completing assignments and participating in class discussions, everyone seemed to know what to do and how to do it while I was struggling in getting an understanding of what they were speaking about. I chose to stay quiet and pretend like I knew what I was doing just like everyone else instead of admitting that I was failing the course. I was embarrassed to ask for help because that meant that I had been failing when all this time I had pretended to be successful. By me not seeking help when I needed it, it portrayed an image that I didn't care but also that I was okay with failing; something I feared in the first place. At the end of the semester I realized I had failed the course because I was too stubborn to acknowledge my own mistakes and learn from them. My blunders could have been avoided if I would have worried less about what my classmates would think of my failures rather than focusing on actually learning. I took the same class with the same professor the next semester and I was determined to make a change. I accepted the fact that this was a new topic for me and that it was okay to make mistakes but it was not okay to hide a mistake with another mistake. I learned to learn from my mistakes and take each problem one step at a

Tynan statement, “…you’ll have to push yourself hard to work even when you don’t like it” resonates with me. I have always been a fairly decent student, tried my hardest in all my classes, but for some reason without fail Algebra and I have never connected. For as long as I can remember I have struggled with math, it’s always been my weak link in school. I know may people enjoy math, but to me it’s a lot of work. Now I am having to relearn Algebra and I don’t like it, but in order to achieve my goal of becoming a physician assistant this is the course I must stay. Maybe Tynan is right and by the end of this I will have learned to love math.

Furthermore, I realized that this semester was going to be particularly challenging because of the Pre-calculus and Calculus hybrid course I had enrolled in; math has not always been my best subject and taking a fast-tracked math course was sure to be disastrous. Nevertheless, I was determined to make A’s in all my classes. After the first week of classes, I could already feel myself becoming overwhelmed with the amount of work I had to do in such a short amount of time. Not to mention, how disappointed I felt in myself when I received my first quiz grade for my pre-calculus class, I had bombed the quiz terribly by making a 65.

As my transcripts reveal, I have taken substantial courses in both statistics and mathematics. Three years' painstaking study equipped me with a solid mathematical foundation and a deeper understanding of Statistics. I vividly recall the excitement of exchanging ideas with my peers and the achievement of solving questions independently. Moreover, sharing my passion, I helped some of my classmates for the preparation of final exams. I taught them the methods of regression analysis, the connection between stochastic processes and time series, and wide application of mathematical statistics, etc. Through teaching them, my devotion to Statistics became even deeper. In the final evaluation, I received scores above 90 in those statistical lessons. More importantly, my understanding was largely consolidated and

My experiences upon completing PSY7620 was a combination of positive and negative. To begin with, I have never been good at grasping mathematical concepts. My positive experiences was that I did receive a 100% on one of my assignments but on the other hand, terribly failed another assignment. It was a positive experience to know that I can understand some concepts of statistics. The anxiety of math has not changed over the course of the class, as I still struggled quite a bit with applying the concepts. I was able to clearly express all concepts in our discussions, but the applying of concepts just doesn’t go with the way my mind works. I will never see math as one of my strong points, hence why I am in a field of social work that does
