SOLUTION SEEKER

WORK SAMPLE TITLE: STATISTICS QIIIZ

HOW DOES TT{E WORK SAMPLE DEMONSTRATE THAT YOU ARE A

SOLUTION SEEKER?

My statistics assignment reveals that I am a solution seeker by showing my

ability to arithmetically and logically resolve scenarios given to me in class. I used
my basic knowledge of statistics to resolve the situations on the assignment. This
allows me to seek solutions through different techniques taught in stats. For
example, given a certain scenario, we had to decide whether it was needed to be
solved through marginal distribution, whether there was a specific association, etc.
I logically and arithmetically solved all these problems which gave me a score of

62/60.

HOW IS THIS A VALUABLE TRAIT AND HOW WILL THIS

HELP YOU IN TI{E FUTURE?
Being able to find a solution to a math problem is a valuable trait in that it
will help in a multiple number ofjobs. For example, an engineer, an architect, and
a mathematician all require the knowledge of solving problems. A valuable asset to
these jobs is finding solutions. A wide variety of techniques is required to seek any
solution being given to you in the job world. Solution seeking is crucial in
everyday life.
