Which one is most recommended for testing out General Education requirements- Study.c

I strongly believe that statistics should be a required course in high school. It's not necessary for most to understand how to do the calculations, but understanding the concepts are important. From the many times I have had to explain research findings written about on mainstream websites and how meaningless anecdotal evidence can be, I have seen that a basic understanding of statistics is needed to understand everyday things. There would be fewer dumb people if they at least understood basic concepts. Statistics aren't just about calculations; they're about logic.

Unfortunately, in my experience, even most people who know statistics don't think through them logically.  I've had scientists tell me, "the data don't lie."  Um, no, but they can certainly be used to misrepresent the facts.  Now informal logic -- that would be nice to see on every high school's curriculum plan.

I will actually be taking Saylor's Intro to Statistics as a math selection by choice. lol  I read a lot of clinical studies and it will be good to better understand the charts and such they use.
