Abstract:
This study was conducted with 270 students from a private university in Lima, Peru, who were enrolled in general education courses to understand their views on the significance of statistics and their level of anxiety towards learning it. To achieve this, a short survey was developed to include questions for responses. Additionally, we aimed to explore the anxiety levels experienced by students while learning statistics. The findings indicate that the type of degree area is significantly linked to the perceived importance of statistics for professional use, with students in Engineering and Management showing a higher value for this subject. Furthermore, the study revealed that women experience significantly more statistical anxiety compared to men.
