<p>How important is Statistics if I want to major in econ/finance? Is this a course I’m absolutely gonna have to take?</p>
<p>I dont know but why is the title about batting averages? Baseball sucks.</p>
<p>Stats is extremely important for finance/econ majors. I can’t imagine a program not requiring at the very least a semester of business stats and a semester or Calc.</p>
<p>Thank you Ryanbis. That’s all I needed to know.</p>
<p>And to Tripperian, 1.) The title was misleading so you’d look (gotcha) and 2.) Baseball is ****ing amazing.</p>
<p>Two words: regression analysis. Any finance program worth its salt will require quite a lot of it.</p>
<p>You might be suprised at the number of peple working in the finance industry who do fantasy sports leagues. It’s all about analyzing numerical data and making a decision.</p>
