I hate stats class

Research Question: Does Intro to Statistics make Erika an unhappy student?

Hypotheses:
      Null: Intro to Statistics has no effect on Erika's happiness.
      Alternative: Intro to Statistics makes Erika unhappy.

Studies show that going to Stats class three days a week for a total of 210 minutes makes Erika feel useless and dumb because she cannot pay attention to the professor's heavy Russian accent. Her average quiz score is 67% or D+. After spending 6 hours studying for the second test, she received a 65% which left her feeling frustrated and discouraged.

The p-value for this study is 0.00001, therefore we reject the null hypothesis. In conclusion, we have strong evidence to suggest that Intro to Statistics makes Erika an unhappy student.

Welcome to my life this semester. Today, I spent 2 hours trying to work on a stats project with my friend Sarah, but all we accomplished in that time was downing 14 oz of our favorite coffee drinks and writing "I hate stats" on a piece of paper with our non-dominant hands.


That's the worst thing about going to a liberal arts college: you're required to take 10 credits of math and science no matter what your major is. Yay for sucking at stuff!
