MATH 171-50 – Statistical Decision Making

My Honors Statistics course that I took in the spring of 2017 was memorable for me because of the brilliant teaching style of Dr. Tom Wears. Dr. Wears gave me and the other Honors students a fresh perspective on statistics and exceeded my expectations for the course. Coming into this course, I was afraid of how well I would do because of all of the things I had heard about statistics, good and bad. However, Dr. Wears used real-life, practical examples in class that helped me to not only pass the class, but gain a better understanding of statistics. Out of all of the math professors who have taught me at Longwood, I am the most grateful to Dr. Wears for giving me a greater understanding of and appreciation for statistics and mathematics in general.

Above is my final MATH 171 Project. This was a group project that included use of boxplots and the PHANTOMS method.
