In our school in Germany there was an observation: students who do well in math usually have somewhat worse grades in statistics. While students who were bad at math often did better in statistics.
In grade 12 and 13 it went like algebra, statistics, geometry, geometry (per semester). Basically, you either got A B+ A A, or D B- D D.
Writing this down I realize they should absolutely make a statistical analysis on these results.
What’s wrong with probability? I found it once of the easier areas to learn, it’s just basic maths with different names.

BRUH
If it’s any consolation, I suck at trigonometry!
What math education do you have ? (No judgement whatsoever)
Up to GCSE advanced maths, if that means anything to you.
It was the same for me, both in school and when studying CS. It’s almost as if the difficulty of learning topics is different for everyone.
