I guess that parent poster was thinking about probability and mixed it up with statistics.
If yes, then I agree with him. People should have more probability lessons at school than trigonometry or calculus.
- sobriquet9 5y agoBasic probability (coin flipping, events over trials) by itself is just as useless as basic trigonometry. It only becomes useful as you move from simple combinatorics to continuous distributions, at which point you need differentiation and integration to switch between CDF and PDF. Much in the same way trigonometry becomes useful in physics once you need to deal with vectors and waves.
