After reading the article on statistical data, how it's gathered and so forth, I found that it repeats what I'm learing already in class. However, it is good to have some repetition regarding statistical courses. The history of statistics was especially interesting. I did not know that they were gathering statistical information as early as 1860's. I did not know that Florence Nightingale was a contributor to statistical data and reports. However, I did hear about the graph done on Napoleon's defeat in the Russian war at an earlier time but if you could see the graph and how it's drawn. His military went out with such vigor which emphasizes the large portion of the graph but they came back so defeated which shows a small line at the end of the graph. This speaks volumns.
