can you trust your judgment with quick math calculations?

Probability and statistics should be core material, no matter what. It can come after algebra, or concurrent. It's that important. We teach exponential growth and the interest rate equation: P*exp(r*t). Introductory prob/stats is no more difficult to understand and equally important.

Ironically, over here statistics is considered the "easy" maths, and algebra the "hard", so since I was good at maths, I always did algebra and not statistics, so I have a sub-major in maths from uni and don't know squat about probability and statistics.
