(Any changes will be posted here and announced in class.)

Suggestion:  You might prefer the version at http://www.tc3.edu/instruct/sbrown/stat5008c/sked.htm because the underlining you see in print becomes active links on line.

LOOK! If you print this page, use Landscape mode for best results.

 

Calculator:  You should understand how the formulas work, but use your TI for complicated calculations and to avoid table lookups.
