babyygurl (I feel like a creep), I doubt you’ll “never need this stuff” ever again. Statistics and your understanding of them (and knowing how media/politics absolutely manipulate the hell out of them) is extremely important in everyday life. I mean, you’re not going to be simulating iterated regressions in your head walking down the street or anything, but if you’re ever reading the newspaper or looking at advertising, you’ll actually think twice about what numbers mean.



‘There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics.’"
