We are pleased to welcome Will Kurt to present: “Why Statisticians Avoid the Express Lane”
Most grocery stores have “express” checkout lines for
customers with 15 items or less. Despite the name, these lanes are not always
the fastest.
Will Kurt, Data Scientist at Quick Sprout, has a formal
background in both Computer Science (MS) and English Literature (BA), and excels
at explaining complex technical topics like statistics to anyone!
Kurt will explore the statistics behind choosing the optimal
lane at the grocery store and discuss how statistical modeling and simulation can
be used to make optimal decisions based on limited information.
Come join us for this fun presentation, aimed at anyone who
wants to learn something new. No prior knowledge
of statistics is required!

The meeting will be on Monday, September 12th, 6-8 pm at Pizza on the
Hill, in Tahoe Donner at 11509 Northwoods Blvd., Truckee. A $5
fee includes pizza and salad. Before and after the presentation, there will be
time for networking with other technology professionals who live and work in
the Tahoe-Truckee region.
