Other than learning statistics, what can I expect from my summer statistics course?

You can expect mind numblingly boring calculations for most of your summer.  The mathematics behind statistics is fairly elementary, it's the staying awake and alert part that's difficult...\nGood Luck, I had to take Statistics in college, and I have to say... It was the best one hour nap 3 times a week a person could possibly ask for...

Statistics would be a good math course for you to take. It's called "Stats" by students taking the course. The course has histograms and charts and graphs you could use to show your data visually. It also had permutations and factorials good for crunching numbers in the books better. It also has normal bell curve probability.

Take math courses, sciences, biology, chemistry, english, another language is a plus, work on thinking in the abstract like inside and outside of the box, work on your situational awareness, physical ability and stamina, marksmanship (if required),  psychology, speech class, medical terminolgy, etc.

I definately know you can take Geometry over the summer, but i'm sure there are others.

The biggest thing would be to review EVERYTHING that is graded and returned.  Really understand your mistakes and make corrections.  If you can't figure this out, get help on particular problems from your professor, another student or a website like dr. math (see sources).  \n\nThere are also a ton of great resources on the web, just search for "math help" or "statistics help".\n\nDrop in for your professor's office hours.\n\nMost of all, don't let yourself get behind.  In any math class, being clueless about one day might not seem so bad, but quickly leads to being clueless about what's been taught over a week, a month, the course... don't put yourself in that place.  Stay on top of homework and do corrections religiously.

The difficulty level of Introductory Statistics, like any class, really depends on your professor.  Is he/she going to allow you use of a good calculator (one that can find standard deviations, factorials, etc.) or an equation sheet?  There are a lot of equations and distributions to remember, so it may be hard if you aren't allowed to use an equation sheet.  Some professors may teach the class based on a computer program, for example DDXL or Excel.  Some professors may opt for a project based final (easier than a test in my opinion) or may require you to sit a final exam.  \n\n"Hardness" is relative...suggestions would be to go to class, make sure you understand the distributions and concepts (permutations and combinations is fairly difficult but not generally a major part of the class) and do your homework.  If you need help with a few problems there's always Yahoo answers...I'll be glad to help!  :-)

Hi. I had to take BUSINESS Statistics. It was painful, but I learned how to survive. It is a really good idea to get a "study buddy" who, sorry to be rude, but is at least as smart as you or smarter. If its a retard, you'll end up spending your study time on things you already understand. Read the text and any notes the prof gives you before class so you at least know some of the terms. Then, as soon as possible after class, do review questions from the book so that the concepts really settle in. And, before the exam, get together a really good study group, sit in someone's dorm with some pizza and coffee and study, study, study...you'll feel more confident if you're prepared! Good luck.

What are the main topics of Biostatistics? ANOVA?

In college, the math is much different.  There are basic classes, and specific classes.  Marketing will require Statistics.  My biggest nightmare and I'm good at Math.  I suggest you get a catalog from your university(s) of choice and check our the curriculum requirements.  Most universities and colleges have them posted online and you can see exactly what will be required.

You could talk about local events going on over the summer break that students may be doing or may be interested in signing up for. For example, find out local camps or citywide events (festivals, celebrations, volunteer opportunities, charity functions, etc.) that are happening in your area that would be of interest to the students. You could use this as a fun topic that relates to 'good behavior' by suggesting that these events are positive ways to channel student energy and prevent kids from getting into trouble because they are bored.

I just took Intro to Statistics at Hunter College, and got an A+.  It's not really difficult.  There's no real calculation in it, except to find the average, and range, and such.  They emphasize understanding the terminology (normal distribution, variance, etc.), understanding the advantages of using one method over another, which test to use under certain situations, and such. \n\nHope I helped!

General study skills. Excellent essay writing and case study knowledge. There is a little biology involved.\nThere is alot of dealing with data, so maths, particularly statistics, is pretty important

I would think that, in the UK, you would have some sort of tutoring programs that contiue in the summer.  You could see about doing something like that, or maybe helping in a child care center for the summer.  That would give you some extra experience in dealing with children.  Or maybe do some private tutoring in your home to help students that need an extra push to get ready for next year.

Do you mean in Actuarial Science position?  If so, then all the math you can take.  First you will have to go through calc and differential equations.  After that the target is 300 level statistics followed by 400 level stats at most universities.

The best sort of "summer school" for a first grader would be swimming, playing, camping, baseball, all kinds of sports, picnics, etc.  Just like adults, they need a break.  We all learn better after a good rest and some relaxation without having to deal with the stress of work a nd learning - that is the best thing you can do for the child.

you could just take out the data you need, if its in the output somewhere anyway. you should have an spss book to go with the course. they r very helpful. email your tutor, he'll be able to help im sure
