Mhm. I don't get it at all. Here, lemme quote something from a chat I had with a friend...

Quote:
tbh, my brain doesn't understand stats.
I mean, see...
Calc...you can at least visualize most of it.
You know, area, slope, 3D crap, volumes, rotations, whatnot.
And it's more...abstract in a way.
Just like...algebra with a ton of variables, except...calc doesn't have that many variables.
But you kind of know what I mean?
It's like...Algebra + Geometry, but harder.
But I can understand that.
Stats, on the other hand...
It's all real-life and concrete.
There's no abstract-ed-ness whatsoever.
And I have to know which test out of eight or ten to carry out, and what's classified as what...
and what z, t, z*, t*, p, p hat, confidence intervals, and...there's something else I;m forgetting...I have to knoww hat those all are.
It's infuriating.
