[Blindmath] AP Statistics

[Roopakshi Pathania]

Hi Maria,

Could you describe which kind of questions is she having problems with?
For example, I remember that doing calculations in questions based on standard deviation was a little difficult because a big table had to be created to show step by step calculation and this table had several columns, so I generally couldn't follow along.
But I came up with a rough solution.

Regards
Roopakshi from India
