Week 1: LEO Discussion Topic

As a student enrolled at UMGC, you've been invited to participate in a hypothetical committee tasked with collaborating with incoming students across different programs. Together with fellow UMGC students from diverse fields, you will organize a weekend event featuring a campus tour, an informal session with peers interested in your program, and a lunch-and-learn with a panel of experts spanning various disciplines.

During the discussion with prospective students curious about your area of study, one individual raises a question regarding the necessity of statistics within the program. They inquire about the relevance of statistics in this context. Your task is to conduct thorough online research and craft a comprehensive response to this inquiry, outlining at least three specific applications of statistics within your field. Cite credible sources to support your response. This response constitutes your initial contribution to the discussion and is due by 11:59 p.m. EST on Saturday.

Upon reviewing contributions from your peers, analyze the role of statistics across different fields of study. Reflect on any surprising applications of statistics in diverse disciplines and identify any common threads. Make at least one substantive response to a peer's post by 11:59 p.m. EST on Tuesday.
