For the most part, I’m fairly pleased with what I was able to accomplish this week. I finished the unit Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) on Tuesday, got through the Statistics and Probability Course Challenge on Friday, and finished the High School Statistics Course Challenge on Saturday. I didn’t get a perfect score on either Course Challenge (I scored 28/30 on both),… Read More Week 62 – Two Course Challenges, Two Scores of 28/30
This week I got through two units, Inference for Categorical Data (Chi-Square Tests) and Advanced Regression (Inference and Transforming) but I would say my effort this week was, in a way, subpar. I’m fairly sure I spent more than 5 hours studying – I spent 1.5 hours Sunday morning, a day I usually don’t study on –… Read More Week 61 – Two Units Down, Still Connecting the Dots
Things didn’t go exactly according to plan this week but, overall, I give myself a passing effort. I only got halfway through the unit Inference for Categorical Data (Chi-Square Tests) bu, even still, ended up learning a number of new concepts. I wasn’t able to work on KA on Saturday or Sunday morning which, if I had… Read More Week 60 – A Different Kind of Test: Chi-Square
Well, I got through the unit Significance Tests (Hypothesis Testing) this week and about halfway through the following unit Two-Sample Inference for the Difference Between Groups. I’m a bit concerned, however, that I don’t have a strong grasp on quite a bit of what I worked through. To be fair, I did find the unit test fairly simple… Read More Week 59 – Statistics: Getting Closer to the Finish Line
Surprisingly, this week went exactly according to plan. I finished 800/1500 M.P. on the unit Significance Tests (Hypothesis Testing) which was my goal and, furthermore, I actually fully understood all the new material I went through. To be fair, it hasn’t all completely sunk in and I wouldn’t necessarily be able to teach it to someone… Read More Week 58 – A Week Where Everything Clicked
Last week I made it my goal to work through KA for 1.5 hours everyday from Tuesday to Saturday. I only managed to do it on Tuesday. The other four days I did get roughly 1.25 hours each day, so overall it wasn’t too bad and better than the 1 hour minimum I used to… Read More Week 57 – Confidence Intervals and an Unforgettable Encounter
I would define my progress this week as “meh”. I got through the unit Sampling Distributions but only made it through a handful of videos in the following unit Confidence Intervals. I would say the effort/amount of time I put in this week is fairly indicative of the amount of work I got done. Funny how that works.… Read More Week 56 – Making Progress, One Distribution at a Time
For once I was actually happy with the progress I made this week. I finally managed to get through the Random Variable unit test (THANK GOD) after 4 previous failed attempts. I then got through about 2/3’s of the following unit Sampling Distributions, although I am still struggling to understand some of what I’ve learned so far. Nonetheless, I’m… Read More Week 55 – Random Variables: Finally Free!
I’m once again disappointed with how this past week went. I failed the Random Variables unit test 3 times this week (a.k.a. didn’t manage to get 100%). My scores got progressively better after each attempt which was somewhat redeeming I suppose. Because there are 21 questions on this test, there’s a lot of pressure which makes me… Read More Week 54 – Four Attempts, One Very Stubborn Test
It’s been a frustrating week to say the least. I think I’ve mentioned before that I live in Toronto, but I may not have mentioned that I live right beside the biggest park in the city, High Park. I love the park but this time of year there is a plant called Golden Rod that… Read More Week 53 – 35 Pages of Notes, One Frustrating Week
