Breaking Down Problems

Step-by-Step Thinking

When you face a tricky statistics problem, break it into smaller pieces. Identify what you know, what you need to find, and the formulas that might help. Draw a simple sketch or chart to visualize the problem—this makes it less overwhelming and easier to solve!

Examples

  • Sketching a bar chart to understand survey data before calculating the mean.

  • Listing all possible outcomes before finding the probability of an event.
