How hard is an Intro to Stats class?

Depends on the professor. Check ratemyprofessor.org - it’s best to have an easier professor for a course like statistics IMO, but it’s really not too difficult usually. You should be fine. My professor was pretty easy - I never did any homework (it was never collected, so I saw no point), but I got an A (with very high exam scores).

I didn’t take a math class in my senior year of high school, so I had a two year gap between math classes (essentially) when I took Intro to Stats. If I remember correctly, it pretty much solely requires basic math.

I didn’t use a graphing calculator, FWIW. But a graphing calculator will probably help a lot, if you know how to use it (I bought one, couldn’t figure it out, and returned it).

Anyway, it seems you’re worrying for no reason. You should be fine. It’s a very useful class - basic knowledge of statistics is extremely useful in things like calculating your grades, understanding curves, etc.
