Actually, it would be a quite different perspective on stats. In the maths courses I did it was all about proving that various distributions work in particular ways whereas this would be more about how those distributions can be used in the real world to give us information, which I think would be much more interesting!
I'm now leaning more towards Understanding Society, I think. The Shakespeare would be covering R&J, which I've studied before so it seems a bit of a shame to cover old ground. I still think Studying Mammals would be fun, and it'd be linked to the David Attenborough Life of Mammals series which I already found really interesting. Still, there's plenty of time for all of them eventually :)
