Material
The sections we have covered from chapters 1 4, each chapter receiving approximately equal emphasis. Of course any sections from these chapters that were omitted will not be represented on the exam. There will likely be a proof or two on the exam.
This
will be a mostly closed notes, mostly
closed book exam.
You
will be allowed to use the tables in Appendix B of your book. The tables that are probably of most interest
are the tables of common discrete (p. 596) and continuous (p. 597)
distributions. You may also need to use
the tables for binomial, Poisson and normal probabilities. Since there are more tables in the appendix
that you dont need than ones that you do, please mark the pages in advance
with paper clips or something so that you dont waste time shuffling pages. Or, you could just copy the appropriate pages.
You
will not be permitted to look through the rest of the book during the exam.
You may bring two 8.5 by 11 sheets of notes into the exam. The rules governing this sheet are:
1. You must independently make up your own sheets.
2. You can write on both sides of the sheets.
3. You must hand in the sheet with your exam.
4. The sheet may contain formulas, definitions and explanations.
5. The sheet may NOT contain specific examples.
It
is expected that you will have a calculator, either a TI-83/84 or other
type. Ill bring a few spare TI-83s for those that want to borrow them.
