Test (100 pts.)
on 1- and 2-sample t procedures
(Chapter 11) and 1- and 2-proportion z
procedures (Chapter 12). Remember,
we will never use z procedures for
means; we will always use t
procedures instead. We use z
procedures for proportions. You need to know the rules on p. 606 by heart, as
well as the assumptions listed in the STAT TESTS Summary. |
|
|
W 3/11/09 |
HW due: The NMAP assignment will be collected and graded
in more detail than the spot checks that have occurred previously. |
|
|
Th 3/12/09 |
HW due: Work on TSTTMP. There is a 5-point bonus
available to any group that submits the final report by 4:00 p.m. today. |
|
|
F 3/13/09 |
HW due: Final deadline for TSTTMP. Extensions into
spring break will be considered on a case-by-case basis and may be honored if
made in a timely fashion. (For example, if you can foresee by Monday 3/9 that
you are running 2 days behind schedule, and if you request a 2-day extension
at that time, it will probably be granted. However, a request for a 2-day
extension made on the morning of Friday 3/13 will be rejected on the grounds
that you should surely have known before then that you were running 2 days
behind schedule.) |

Spring break. |

M 3/30/09 |
Double
Quiz on your spring break reading.
Most students will be reading How to
Lie With Statistics, a quick, breezy hour-and-a-half read. The quizzes
for that book will be challenging, designed to ensure that you actually read
the book. If you prefer to read a different book, I have several to choose
from: Freakonomics, Outliers, Super
Crunchers, The Black Swan, and Damned
Lies and Statistics. These are all longer but, in my opinion, more
interesting. Your quiz if you choose one of the longer books will be an oral
interview in which you persuade me that you have read the book and have
obtained something from the experience. |

T 3/31/09 |
HW due: Read pp. 702-709 and bring in a bag of plain M & M’s candies (any size). |
