so I literally teach statistics to undergraduates...a couple thoughts:
1) agree with others comments that stating with 'very basic' ain't going to work
2) logistic regression actually isn't a common topic in an undergraduate statistics course. I cover it on the second to last day as an 'here is where you can extend it'
3) this isn't a very effective explanation.
4) a big background factor is the misconceptions about statistics that are ingrained in human beings. Learning statistical tests is hard, especially for many engineers and similar STEM types because it is typically the first (and sometimes only) class that deals with concepts of error and variance. Everything else presents an absolute theoretical model. On average, it breaks their brain...
