Question

Discuss Mason's notion that you are to be an engineer first and a statistician second. What does that mean to you in terms of how you think about the career you are studying to begin, and how do you think this class might impact a job interview you might ultimately go on later in your studies

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is explained below

Step-by-step explanation:

What use are statistics if there is no engineer to use them? In other words, a statistician corrects, improves, reinforces, and supports an engineer in building / designing / developing a new product and / or improving an existing product.

The statistician provides a special kind of vision through which I see the same problem in a completely different vision. So you can see the strengths, weaknesses of my product and the promise of improvements that can be made.

Each class of statistics is essential for a student to see and understand a problem in a whole new way where it is much easier to understand information.
