Statistics classes tend to be some of the least favorite classes that college students take. They deal with logic and numbers in a way that can be mind boggling if you don’t understand what is going on in the class. There are some ways to approach statistics classes that can help with your success.
Read Ahead in the Text
Always read at least one chapter ahead before you go to class each time. Even if you do not understand everything that you are reading, having read the text will give you a frame of reference when the instructor begins to explain things. Reading ahead is an excellent way to create a foundation that you can build upon until you gain a real understanding of the concept. If the first time you hear a new statistics concept is when the instructor presents it, you will be lost by the end of the class session.
Ask Plenty of Questions
Do not be afraid to ask questions while you are in class. If you already had the answers, you would not need to take the class. Ask a question as soon as you feel that you are becoming lost. Your instructor will probably welcome the opportunity to expand upon a point that did not get covered very well the first time. Your classmates will also appreciate that you had the courage to ask the question that they had been thinking of all along. Asking questions is the only way you will be able to fully grasp all of the concepts presented.
Apply the Lessons to Real Life Situations
Statistics is a science that is based in real life. People use statistics for different situations all the time. If you can find a way to transfer the statistics lessons that you find boring or difficult to understand into real life situations that make sense to you, you will have no problem understanding the course work. Sometimes it will be easy to apply a statistics lesson to something you have experienced. Sometimes the application will be more challenging. The process of trying to find a real life application will help you remember the lesson and understand it better.

How can manager use statistics and what benefits he can get from the statistical methods?
Managers can apply some statistical technique to virtually every branch of public and private enterprise. These techniques are commonly separated into two broad categories: descriptive statistics and inferential statistics. Descriptive statistics are typically simple summary figures calculated from a set of observations. Suppose a professor computes an average grade for one accounting class. If the professor uses the statistic simply to describe the performance of that class, the result is a descriptive statistic of overall performance. Inferential statistics are used to apply conclusions about one set of observations to reach a broader conclusion or an inference about something that has not been directly observed. In this case, a professor might use the average grade from a series of previous accounting classes to estimate, or infer, the average grade for future accounting classes. Any conclusion made about future accounting classes is based solely on the inferential statistics derived from previous accounting classes. See the related link below for more information.
