Ray192, remember it is hs statistics and probability that we are talking about here. And even at my alma mater Cornell the intro stats course does not require calc as a prereq for its intro statistics course.

And per my first post read the book Innumeracy and you will understand why even a cursory knowledge of statistics and probability can be of great importance in everyday life, unlike calc, linear algebra, discrete math, etc.

Also regarding your post about quantative reasoning statistics and probability fill that bill too according to Harvard U's academic catalogue.
