Handouts from Class
- Linear regression handout and example of simple linear regression computations
- Goodness of Fit test examples in Excel
- Taste test experiment
- Excel spreadsheet of example of power of a binomial experiment (NOTE: if you click on the link directly, the Excel spreadsheet will open in your web browser, but much of the functionality of Excel will not work properly in the browser. Instead, right click on the link, save the file to your computer and then open the file in Excel.)
- Excel spreadsheet of example of power function for a test for a mean
- Summary of probability distributions
- Summary of basic confidence intervals and hypothesis tests
- Syllabus
- Probability tables for normal, chi-square, and t-distributions
Homework Assignments
- Solution for alpha-hat proof.
- Due Friday, May 18: Exercises 1, 2, and 3 from the regression handout. Also do exercises 1bc and 15abc from Chapter 12 of the textbook. For the exercises from the book, please use Excel to construct the graphs and perform the computations (showing all details of the computations, as was done in the natural gas example in class). Solutions
- Due Wednesday, May 9: Maximum Likelihood Estimators assignment; solutions
- Due Wednesday, May 2. Exercises 3, 4, 10, 15, 16, 18, 25, and 27 from Chapter 13. You may use Excel as needed for computations. However, please do #3 both by hand/Excel and with Minitab and use Minitab for #27. Solutions
- Due Wednesday, April 25: Homework #4 partial solutions
- Due Monday, April 23: Your group's design for the taste test experiment
- Due Friday, April 20: Homework #3 solutions
- Due Wednesday, April 11: Homework #2; sample solutions for equivalence of tests exercises from HW #2
- Due Monday, April 2: Homework #1 ; solution for hypergeometric proof
