Breaking Down Complex Problems

Tackling Tricky Questions

When faced with a complicated statistics or probability problem, break it into smaller parts.

  • Identify what the question is really asking.
  • Write down what information you have and what you need to find.
  • Solve each part step by step, checking your work as you go.

This approach makes big problems much less intimidating!

Examples

  • Dividing a word problem about survey data into data collection, calculation, and interpretation steps.

  • Splitting a multi-step probability question into single-event probabilities before combining them.
