Today in UBN, we learned about statistics in preparation for the time when we will eventually look at the data we have been gathering in the field, and organize it in order to find trends. Specifically, we talked about measures of central tendency (mean, median, and mode), accuracy and precision, and standard deviation and variance. Instead of doing the math on paper, we did it using a spreadsheet, which forced us to learn codes to automate the arithmetic. Although I already knew how to calculate mean, median, mode, standard deviation, and variance, I found this to be quite helpful, because I have always been a bit lost in Excel.
