Among them statistics is usually considered the toughest part. Cut back to the School or Under Graduate study where Statistics was the major subject. A major defect of the study has been lack of practical implications. How does one put into practice what one has learnt in school/ college.
Comprehensive courses are the need of the hour to understand the basics of Statistics without going too much into the mathematics. Whilst there are many online courses on analytics, need to understand basic statistics with practical examples before going in for analytics as a career option is what is lacking in the present scenario.
However statistics is not a giant. In fact, basic Statistics is not very complicated to learn. The right way of learning statistics is when one can see the demonstration of concepts through simulation and then go through the theoretical concept. The best is possible, when people can the simulations on their own. That’s where it becomes very handy if simulation is in popular tool like excel.
