My name is Hannah Stern, and I am a former AP Statistics student at Plymouth Whitemarsh High School. I fell in love with statistics. Never in my life have I been so engaged in a class, or felt so capable of excelling in a subject. Exploring the vast world of statistics has enriched my life as a student, and surely shaped my future career aspirations. However, in all of my infatuation, I had a depressing realization. Most of my friends have taken AP Statistics, or at least some form of Statistics in their regular math classes. Yet, not one person said that they got the “bug” for statistics like I did. This revelation sparked an extreme curiosity. After much thought, I came to a bold conclusion: there is a heaping gap between the average person and the magic of statistics.

 

 

 

“It is the mark of a truly intelligent person to be moved by statistics.”

George Bernard Shaw

The purpose of my independent study is for everyone to possess the true intelligence to be moved by statistics. I aim to create a bridge between people and statistics by modeling how one can apply statistics to another area that sparks his or her interest, excitement, and inspiration. By giving raw statistics a purpose, one is immediately more inclined to understand and enjoy the topic. This concept is why I geared my independent study towards the culmination of statistics and business. I have always been interested in the area of business, and it was the first application that appealed to my statistical senses.

 

Through research and experimentation, I will try my absolute best to make the bridge between people and statistics accessible for everyone to cross.
