Resources/Announcements
- Exam 1 (with solutions) and Exam
2 (with solutions) from when
I taught this course last spring. Warning: some of the stuff on these
exams is on topics that we have not covered this semester, so you can
ignore those questions.
- Here is a list of
questions simialr to those that might be on the final exam. (In
fact, I think many of these were on my final exam last year.)
- Many examples from class can be found on either your CD (which you got
with your textbook) or at the publisher's
website (if you click on "Data Sets" or "Electronic Encyclopedia of
Statistical Examples and Exercises").
- Many of the data-sets for your homework problems are also on the
CD.
- The solutions to the first quiz.
- The solutions to the second quiz.
- The solutions to the practice exam
for the third exam. Remember, we haven't covered the material for problem
10 yet, so you can safely ignore that one for now.
