Th 11/1/01

HW due today: Prepare to present orally problems #4.25 through 4.29 (all) on pp. 214-215. Also, read §4.3.

F 11/2/01

No school.

M 11/5/01

HW due today: #4.47-4.50 all, #4.65. Count on these to be collected.

T 11/6/01

HW due today: Read §5.1.

W 11/7/01

HW due today: Read §5.2; also start working on Friday's assignment. During class, we will go over the rougher parts of Friday's problems so that you can have clean versions to hand in.

Th 11/8/01

Day of rest.

F 11/9/01

HW due today: #5.9, 5.10, 5.11, 5.12, 5.14, 5.20. Note that #5.20 requires an "AP-style" writeup that indicates your methodology in clear, readable sentences.

M 11/12/01

HW due today: Complete the quiz that was handed out on Friday.

T 11/13/01

Day of rest.

W 11/14/01

HW due today: Read §5.3 before start of class. Also, finish a careful and complete writeup of the last question from last Friday's quiz, using our discussion from Monday's class as a starting point.

Th 11/15/01

HW due today: Bring a research question that is of personal interest to you (example: how many dollars would a person expect to lose out of a $100 bankroll on 50 rounds of craps at $1 each?) that we can attack as a class by means of simulation. Finish reading §5.3 if you have not already done so. Keeping in mind the themes discussed on the video (Alex: you will have to view this at home), refine your experimental design for the ballot experiment on last Friday's quiz if appropriate.

F 11/16/01

No additional HW due today. Keep working on Project 2 (survey).

M 11/19/01

No additional HW due today. Keep working on Project 2 (survey).

T 11/20/01

HW due today: Write out the 5 "PADRE" steps (and execute approximately 50 simulated coin flips) to address Will's research question concerning whether the probablility of a head is the same after the previous flip was a head as it is after the previous flip was a tail.

M 11/26/01

No additional HW due today, except for Alex, who needs to watch the AP videotape. Try to hand in your survey project today if possible, or speak with me if you need additional time.

In class: More about simulations; introduction to statistical significance and P-values.

T 11/27/01

No additional HW due today. In class: Introduction to formal probability.

W 11/28/01

HW due today: Read §6.1 (pp. 310-316) and estimate the probability of a head when a new penny is spun on its edge. (Bring in your raw data of heads and tails for 50 iterations.)

Th 11/29/01

HW due today: Do the entire PADDRE sequence (including one or two replications) for problem #5.62. In class: Review for test.

F 11/30/01

House Tour (day of rest). If you have questions related to the test, you can find me in my office.
