My roommate is in his 5th year of undergrad in economics and has never heard of a “T-Test”. While knowing what a t-test in it self is not important but it symbolizes the basics of understanding statistics. And for a major dealing with lots of numbers, i would figure they would emphasis statistics or even how to read statistical information.

Is this normal?
I think he is a BA so that explains it.

I’ve taken 3 Econ classes towards a finance degree and a T-test was never introduced in any of them. I took stats as well and learned it then. It does seem like an econ major should have to take statistics, though. You would have to be good with probabilities and forecasting.
