I took it before I went to medical school.  Just "plug and chug"  Meaning problems problems problems.  When I took physics, I did yellow legal pads full of problems.  The same thing with statistics except statistics is easier.

I took one and made B on it. My suggestion is to buy solutions manual ASP and you will be fine. All chapters are very connected. The worst part will be null hypothesis and alternative hypothesis. Learn to distinguish between the mean of set of sample values, and mean of all values in a population. Use you calculator every chance you have. The calculator does most thing for you. Z scores are easy. Statistics will be very helpful in Operations Management course.  :dance:

Yes, I'm a resident doctor.  That's someone who finished medical school and has their MD, but who is completing their formal training before they can practice independently. What are you studying?

Yes, I know what a resident is. Some of my favorite shows are House and ER, so I know a lot of the terms. I'm switching into accounting next semester.
