Textbook
Statistics (4th edition), by Freedman, Pisani, and Purves. ISBN: 0-393-92972-8
(Internet Archive) for the 3rd edition. For content only. Please refer to the 4th edition for homework.
Tutorials
During the quarter, tutorial sessions for math 10 run on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays from 7 to 9 pm in Kemeny 007. The TAs are Billy McKittrick and Jack Liedtka. Tutorials start on Sunday April 6.
Tutorials focus on the homework assignments. What happens during these tutorials depends on the questions that you bring. You can ask for explanation of concepts, or, more commonly, ask for help with specific practice problems. Tutorials are open to all Math 10 students. You don't need an appointment.
Homework
Homework problems are assigned for each lecture. The bulk of the homework problems will NOT be collected or graded, but it is HIGHLY recommended that you work through these problems to digest and internalize the material. Office hours and tutorials focus on discussion of these problem sets. Working your way through these problems is the best way to prepare for exams.
In addition to the ungraded problems, a brief Quiz is assigned on Canvas each Wednesday. The Quizzes will be graded.
Exams
There will be two midterm exams and a final exam. Locations TBA.
Midterm 1, Wed April 23, 4-6 PM, locations TBA.
Midterm 2, Wed May 14, 4-6 PM, locations TBA.
Final exam, Sat June 7, 11:30-1:30, Life Sciences Center, room 100.
Grades
The course grade will be based on your scores on the two midterm exams (25% each), the final exam (35%), and quizzes (15%). The lowest Quiz score will be dropped before calculating the average.
