The most interesting thing discussed in class this week was finding the percentage between two numbers. I think that I could find myself using this in the future.
I would like to spend some more time on Z-scores. I find that mathematics are easier for me to understand when I know what the numbers I am finding mean. I know that the mean determines the average of a set of numbers, and the mode occurs most often, and these I understand. I realize that Z-scores are the raw score subtracted the mean and divided by the standard deviation, however I don't understand the information that this step gives me, other than to use it to find percentages above/ below/ between a set of numbers.
I find the most challenging subject to be discussed this week is determining the area of a normal distribution curve. Without a picture, the problem may easily be misinterpreted.
I think that spending less time in class on any of the material taught this week would not be beneficial, and that this will become easier with practice.
