I've worked through all of the Instant Cert materials, watched all the videos for 'Against All Odds: Inside Statistics', and worked through the entire Statistics Workbook for Dummies. I feel that I've gotten it all pretty much down, and am just going to keep reinforcing it for the next couple of days.
My biggest concern are the math equations themselves. How well do I need to know these?
I understand calculating means, median, interquartile range, etc. I figured out how to calculate standard deviation using my calculator. But what about regression lines? Geometry was never my strong point.
If I have the concepts of everything down should I be fine or does the math figure heavily into the line of questioning. I'm going to Saint Leo University and the DSST are all pass/fail so there is no difference between a 50 and an 80. Should I have enough to safely nail it?
