- Problems to work and bring to exam:
These questions are provided so that you can do some of the time intensive
aspects of the problems before coming to the exam. Questions on the test will
not necessarily be the same as questions in the book, but they will be based on
the same data and context. I suggest that at the
very least you make whatever graphics are appropriate and perform the relevant
calculations. You may bring the work you do on these questions to use
during the exam. On the exam you may be asked to reproduce the graphics or
calculations. You will also be expected to interpret the graphics and
calculations (that is, describe and explain what they might mean). In
addition there will be other questions that do not require significant
calculations.
Book Exercises: 1.18, 2.18, 4.16, 5.36, Review Exercise I.10 (page 159), Supplementary Exercise I.34, I.35, I.36 (Page 165-166)
- You should be able to describe distributions qualitatively and
quantitatively.
- You should be able to perform calculations based upon the normal
distribution (using the table if necessary) if you are given the mean and
standard deviation.
- The chapter summaries and Part I review are good outlines of important
concepts for review purposes
