This week we will be finishing up with statistics with a discussion of normal distributions and confidence intervals. This material can be a little tricky, so make sure you get a good head start on the homework.
Our Probability and Statistics Exam will be next Thursday, March 10. There is a lot of material in this section, so you should start studying early for this exam! You should think of this material in 3 chunks - counting, probability, and statistics. You have a lot of resources to help you study - webwork homework and associated worksheets, handouts given in class, and the study guide below. Please print this study guide and work out the problems for class on Tuesday. You will be presenting your solutions on the board in class on Tuesday.
