Your local junior college very probably
offers a course in elementary statistics.
Take it. You need it. Pay close attention
when they talk about confidence and standard
error.
**********************
Do they also teach you that you can prove virtually anything with
statistics?
Or is that part of the more advanced stuff?
It's no wonder we have the apt phrase "Lies, damned lies, and
statistics"!
