4/26/14: When Did Hard Math Get So Easy? in Just Me

First: I am in a Stats class. Stats for Behavioral Sciences. For psychologists, essentially.

Second: I was failing this stats class about 2-3 weeks ago. So I quit my job (which blew anyway, but let's not talk about that), talked to the professor about Exam #2 (which I scored a 36 on!). Now I am mostly good with the course! I made an 89 on the last exam :)

We have one more exam, the final, in a week or two. On that day we are allowed to go back and retake a test we did poorly on. Of course I am retaking Exam #2. It's about Probability, Normal Distributions, Sample Distributions, and Estimation. Seemingly easy concepts, when you know what each of these terms mean. Which I do. But why can't I actually do the math??

So, I am spending my sunny Saturday afternoon on Khan Academy watching every single video they have on probability, every single exercise. Reading through my professor's powerpoints, doing the online textbook, reviewing my notes, doing practice problems from the professor.... I got this, right? :)
