14. Final exam announcement:
àYou can bring your own sheet of notes (both sides of the paper is fine) BUT it should obey two rules: i) NO EXAMPLES!! (no numbers of z or t-values) ii) it should be hand-written. Your cheat sheet will be examined that obey the rules while you will be entering the exam on Tuesday.
à At the final exam, bring only a calculator, your student ID, your paper notes and a dependable writing utensil, anything else you will need i.e. tables, scratch paper, it will be provided! Please do not bring any class material with you.
àThe final is cumulative with an emphasis on the second part.
àI will have additional OH on Friday 1:15pm-2:30pm and on Monday March 14th 3:00pm-4:30pm.
à Practice Final is uploaded at the website under the Quizzes & Exams tabs. Solutions will be uploaded during the weekend.
13. 03/03/2016: Quiz 4 will take place this Tuesday 2/8. The quiz will cover concepts from sections 9.1-9.5, however, as I have mentioned in lecture, we do not closely follow the book structure for Correlation and Regression. You will NOT need to compute test statistics or p-values; you will be provided a JMP output analysis and asked questions regarding the output. Thus you must be familiar with (and interpret) the output that JMP produces (correlation, 95% CI, regression analysis, 6-step hypothesis test for the slope and the model as a whole, residual analysis, predictions). As always, bring a calculator and writing utensil - all other material will be provided for you.
12. 02/28/2016: Solutions of Midterm and Quiz 3 are uploaded.
11. 02/17/2016: Tuesday 02/23: Quiz 3 covers the content in the homework problems assigned in Sections 7.1 - 7.5 and 8.1 - 8.4. DON'T FORGET YOUR CALCULATORS!!!! I will hold additional OH on Monday 1:00-2:00pm if you have any questions before the quiz on Tuesday.

"In Praise of Lectures" gives some ideas about the purpose of lectures, note-taking, and not being afraid to ask questions. It's target audience is more advanced mathematics students, but everything it says applies here. Think about the ideas it presents, and you will have a better time in AMS7 lectures. In particular
