In taking Stat 212 I anticipated a leg up in that I already understood how the teacher worked.  I asked him tongue-in-cheek if he’d changed the quizzes from the previous semester and he replied he did.  Indeed he did, the questions were in a completely different order from the previous semester.  Identical numbers and functions, but apparently, changing the order is sufficient to throw off people.

While reviewing for my Stat 212 exam I was reminded of how competence related to statistical calculus is so much lower than other areas.  In Acct 0002 I smile if I complete a quiz perfectly, in Stat 212 I throw a small party if the solution I get to a probability function includes at least 1 real number.
