Ok, I have a test on Monday for statistics. It's a repeat I have to do in order to get into second year of my course.
The reason I didn't pass the test first time round was due to my bike accident, and I couldn't attend any of the lectures.
So I am sitting here up to my elbows in web pages and books but I understand very little of it as there is no one here to help me!

i have got some of the past papers, and the questions are the same every year, with only the numbers changed, so I know what I have to learn. The problem is I don't understand it!

If anybody out there could give me a bit of help, or maybe direct me to a website you know is good, and has worked examples I would be emensly grateful!

The things I will need to learn are;
