Dear Students:

Here are a few comments on the midterm and the review lecture next week:

1) Zheng Sun will be delivering the review lecture next Monday in class at the usual time.

2) The homework is due Tuesday by 4:30

3) I will post solutions sometime Tuesday after that -- as close to that time as I can.

4) On my web page there are:

a) an old midterm from STAT 201 which is pretty relevant to this midterm but you can't do Q1c). Q5 is hard but can be done approximately with what we have done in class.

b) solutions to that midterm.

c) Practice problems: only some are relevant: Q5, 8, 22, 23, 24 b, 24 c , 25, 26 and 27.

d) The transparencies for Monday's review lecture.

e) Some hints to solutions for the practice problems.

5) The exam is OPEN BOOK. You may bring the text, your notes, other books.

6) You will need a calculator. Your phone WON'T do. Your calculator must not be wireless capable.

7) Bring a copy of the normal tables.

Good luck;

Richard
