Prob & Stat was the only math class that I actually put effort into and didn’t do well. I guess I saw the nature of stats allowing you to prove whatever you wanted to prove just by sliding a value or two that made the whole thing seem a sham at the time. One of those sciences where – "anybody will believe statistics are true if you can make 95% appear anywhere in your statement."
What really got me was that I entered the finals with a C, got a C+ on the exam, and received a B on my report card. I believe that proves that with stats – anything is possible.
