Follow Ether's lead on this: concentrate on the physics while you are young, and save the statistics for your later career (or retirement). Too many engineers today rely on statistical inference to make decisions, when a relatively small dose of physics would have provided the required insight much more directly.
Taking this approach served me well until I got to quantum mechanics, then it went really downhill that semester
