Stats Students Shine
Energy drinks, artificial intelligence and allergy attacks were just some of the topics presented at this year’s Statistics Program Competition for high schoolers, funded by UB’s Department of Biostatistics and the Biostatistics, Epidemiology and Research Design core of the Clinical and Translational Science Institute.
Forty-seven students from Amherst, Grand Island, Lewiston-Porter, Nichols and Royalton-Hartland high schools presented their statistical findings on the subject of their choice, using knowledge learned from their AP Statistics classes. Douglas Landsittel, chair of the Department of Biostatistics, presented the grand prize to Lewiston-Porter High School's Ava Niccola and Dominic Tracy, who studied the effect of caffeine on high school students’ test scores.
