- A new study shows that the reason why a majority (76%) of us struggle to solve statistical problems is because of fixed mindset: we tend to stick with the familiar methods we previously learned in school, which could blind us to the existence and application of potentially simpler solutions. https://arstechnica.com/science/2018/10/fixed-mindsets-might-be-why-we-dont-understand-statistics/ 289 comments science
