Normal distribution, degrees of freedom, etc etc my brain is blue screening. How am I supposed to remember all this shit? HELP.
I'm bombarded with like 12 new complex terms in each lecture that I'm supposed to just fully understand. Gdhsjfbe fuck my ADHD brain.
I had a Stats professor from China and she was somewhat hard to understand, and we spent a week learning to calculate "Elo" and I had no idea what it was, just had to wrap my head around these equations without knowing what it even represented.
The next week she was showing a variable that could go down to zero, in which case that variable "didn't matt" and we could simplify the equation.
She kept saying "didn't matt"
I realized that she had trouble saying "er" because that's a famously weird and difficult sound to make, and only shows up in English and a couple other languages... So she didn't even try at all, she just skipped over that sound whenever it came up.
Then it hit me. Elo. We had been learning to calculate FUCKING ERROR
