Factorials

Post #151,178 by orion 4/14/04 4:45:45 PM Reply	Factorials I know what one is, I used to write functions to create them. 1! = 1. 2! = 2 * 1 = 2. 3! = 3 * 2 * 1 = 6. 4! = 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 = 24. Let me know if I got that right. I lost my statitics book some time ago and it has been 15 years since I read it. All I asked for was a web site or book to be reconmended, not a free tutoring service. I do not wish to have your services for tutoring, free or otherwise. It looks like our class so far is not covering the intro to statistics, and yes I will be asking questions. Everyone else I talked to are struggling with the test as well, so it would benefit them all if I asked the questions in class. *"Lady I only speak two languages, English and Bad English!" - Corbin Dallas "The Fifth Element"*

As for a book, what part of, "any introductory Statistics book," do you fail to comprehend? I haven't needed an introductory book for a decade myself, and I have no idea what the current offerings are. But they should all cover this. If you're worried, ask your professor for a recommendation. After all that is what he is THERE for. In the meantime, take your fucking whining elsewhere.

That seems to be most of what you've ever done, you and a few of the others. You see someone struggling, so you mock them, pretend to help them, and then bash the hell out of them. *"What's the use of saving life when you see what you do with it?" - Corbin Dallas "The Fifth Element"*
Post #151,202 by inthane-chan 4/14/04 11:05:07 PM Reply	Norm, stuff it. I've met Ben in person. He comes across as a nice guy, and would be quite willing to help somebody. That is, somebody who hasn't repeatedly shown themselves to be manipulative, abusive, and otherwise somebody who has shown themselves over and over again to be unwilling to take REAL responsibility for their own actions. I have my own demons to deal with. I've been dealing with them, without spamming crap all over IWETHEY. Unlike you. Nobody wins in a butter eating contest
Post #151,207 by orion 4/14/04 11:43:00 PM Reply	I would have reacted differently had he used a different posting tone and moved the post outside of the flame forum. I am taking responsibility for my actions, I am asking for help, buying books, searching web sites, talking to classmates, whatever it takes to get me to the next level. I am using the resources at hand to try and solve a major problem. One of those resources happens to be IWETHEY. I did get a book suggestion, one that I already had ordered. If I did not take responsibility for my actions, I would just simpy quit the class and complain that it was too hard. Funny how people always bring up the past, think that pointing out someone else's flaws and mistakes makes them better than the one who made the mistakes and has the flaws. Yet when that person person who has the flaws and made the mistakes tries to change or do something to improve himself, he gets mocked, put down, made fun of. What Hypocrites! Apparently some in this group have no idea what forgiveness or compassion means. You deal with your demons your way, I happen to talk about them so I can deal with them. Just a different style is all. I had a friend who dealt with his demons and did not talk about them, he ended up killing himself, had he told someone he might have been saved. So lesson learned there for me, else I end up six feet under. *"What's the use of saving life when you see what you do with it?" - Corbin Dallas "The Fifth Element"*

Post #156,298 by bepatient 5/21/04 11:57:36 PM Reply	You said society so why the fuck does he need to post something nice about >you<. This is the kind of content free shit he was complaining about in the first place.

Post #156,798 by orion 5/25/04 12:33:12 AM Reply	I am a member of society am I not? I just wanted to see if he had the potential to post something nice about someone rather than go off on them all the time. I wanted to see a side of Peter that he seldom shows in these forums. Or at least verify that he has the ability to do so. So yes there was content in my fucking post, even if you missed it. *"What's the use of saving life when you see what you do with it?" - Corbin Dallas "The Fifth Element"*

Post #151,189 by orion 4/14/04 7:47:44 PM 4/14/04 8:01:32 PM Reply	My educational situation As for a book, what part of, "any introductory Statistics book," do you fail to comprehend? I haven't needed an introductory book for a decade myself, and I have no idea what the current offerings are. But they should all cover this. If you're worried, ask your professor for a recommendation. After all that is what he is THERE for. Gee, lots of them out there, I think I will put the names of them on a dartboard and throw darts at them, it would be more helpful than you've been to me on picking out a good book. I have asked my instructor in email, and SHE, has been ignoring my questions. I even asked for a Syllabus, which is part of her job to give me one, and she refused to give me one. That was the only response I got. I asked nicely, I asked politely, and I explained to her the problems I had with the test. So far, nothing else from her except she said she would not give me a Syllabus. Edit: I did a search on Amazon.com, interesting that books that use statistics in their descriptions come up, but are not actually about statitistics. One book was available for $100USD and the rest where out of stock. Do a search on "Intro to Statistics" and see what pops up. I'd use my college bookstore, but they outsourced it to a web company that sent me the wrong book, and ripped me off of $60USD and refused to refund my money. The college says they are looking into it for the past 3 months or so, but keep making excuses as to why I cannot get a refund or exchange. *"What's the use of saving life when you see what you do with it?" - Corbin Dallas "The Fifth Element"* Edited by orion April 14, 2004, 08:01:32 PM EDT Expand All History
Post #151,197 by Meerkat 4/14/04 10:04:39 PM Reply	Thirty seconds on Barnes and Noble gives me this: [link\|http://btobsearch.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbnInquiry.asp?isbn=0071350055&itm=2\|Statistics for the Utterly Confused]. Looks like a good introductory statistics book. And it's only about $17. So go grab it. Even if it doesn't up being the best book ever, at least you can be satisfied with the fact that you actually took some action to remedy the trouble you're facing. The college says they are looking into it for the past 3 months or so, but keep making excuses as to why I cannot get a refund or exchange. It's awfully annoying when people just keep making excuses without actually taking any action, isn't it... John. Busy lad.
Post #151,199 by orion 4/14/04 10:09:47 PM Reply	I took action did a random search at Amazon.com and got both "Statistics for Dummies" and "Statistics for the Utterly Confused". Cheaper than BN.com offered them too. The "dart board" worked this time. :) Thanks for the suggestion, at least it was some help. *"What's the use of saving life when you see what you do with it?" - Corbin Dallas "The Fifth Element"*
