Don't be scared by Business Statistics. While I don't know the specific course, I think you can be sure it will be easier than a full-on statistical methods course.
I believe Business Statistics has a bit of calculus sprinkled in there.
Statistics is not that hard. The reason for the prerequisite (algebra) is that you have to be able to solve statistics formulas using what you learned in algebra. In addition to solving formulas, you will have to learn which statistical techniques are appropriate for the type data you have and the hypothesis you are trying to prove.
Just like with any kind of math-related course, the only way to study is to work problems until you understand the technique. If you find that you are struggling, go to your college math department and work with a tutor.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
